Leonara Howard King, M.D., was in charge of a small hospital for women in Peking at the time of the serious illness of Lady Li, the wife Li Hongzhang, Viceroy of the province of Chih-li. At Dr. John Kenneth MacKenzie's suggestion, she was invited to visit Tientsin by Li Hongzhang, in order to make an examination which was deemed important by the European local surgeons, but which Chinese etiquette forbade their undertaking.
