2 that the stomach and intestines were all. ted, which disturbed
3 the fimctiuns of digestion, and caused ft violent' purging, with a
4 burning of the anus; 1 commenced by bleeding him, and apply¬
5 ing leeches; after which, the diarrhoea having be i suppressed,
6 an intermittent fever, exhibiting itself at various periods, of from
7 three to seven days, was the consequence. Observing no improve¬
8 ment in the health of my patient, I conceived that the heat of
9 the climate exercised an injurious influence Over him, and that
10 no hopes of his recovery could be entertained unless he wore
11 removed. I therefore solicited permission for him to remove to
12 a cooler locality, upon which we were sent to Dcenanuggur, in
13 the proximity of the mountains, to which place the maharajah
