practice. As soon as a man was attacked, they
made him swallow quantities of grape verjuice,
called kora soo, mixed with salt, which they said
was good to cut the bile and strengthen the stomach,
and kept sousing him over head and ears in the
coldest water they could procure. If a poor man,
they tumbled him headlong into the first tank or
pool; if a rich one, they cooled the water first with
snow. Numbers died under the operation, and a great
many more from the effects of it, which, added to
those who died from neglect, and those who were
killed by terror, will reduce the real deaths by cho
lera considerably.
Major Litchfield, who has been uncommonly kind,
leaves us this evening for Bushire. As there is no
more cholera on the road between this and Bushire,
I shall follow him in a few days; but in the mean
time, lest he reach Bushire before me, I give him this
letter to forward on. He will probably give it to Dr.
Jeffries, a gentleman who passed through this place
some days ago, and is very anxious to reach India
as soon as possible. I did not like to give him a
letter when he passed here, because I could not con
scientiously say that the disorder was quite over ;
but now it is, 1 should like him to take charge of
this, that he'might tell you all about our going on.
Mr. Fraser. the Himmalaya traveller, has been with
us for some days, and I find him a great resource.
