Шаблон:Use dmy dates Frederick Porter Smith (1833–1888)[1] was one of the first British medical missionaries to China, in the 19th century.[2][3] The Wesleyan Missionary Committee sent him to Hankow, China, for both philanthropic and evangelical reasons late in 1863.[4]

Writings

He wrote several books on China while there and after his return; his 1871 work is only the second English-language work to mention soybean sprouts.[5] Smith also reported on the use of tobacco[6] and of opium in his territory, opining that moderate opium use was "not incompatible with the health of those who practice it".[7]
