2 local embrocation : this T learnt from the celebrated naturalist,
3 Victor Juequemont, on his visiting Lahore, en route to f’us-’i-

7 During tlie congress of Hu pore, on *5he frontier of India, l
8 attended, at Wuzeerabad, the governor of that, province, General
9 Avitabile, who, having sprained hi* ancle, had called in the
10 native surgeons, barbers and bunglers, artel they hail so assi¬
11 duously applied irritating poultices and embrocations, that, the*
12 leg became inflamed, and was approaching to mortification.
13 Under my treatment, the patient recovered, and the log was
14 restored to its former functions. Subsequently, he was afflicted
15 with a contraction of the muscles of the face, which, oti account

25 where heexercisod his sway in a most arbitrary manner. The plea¬
26 sure which he took in seeing people hung by dozens must be
27 attributed to the affection of his brain. General Allard told me
28 that the Hialmrajnh once reprimanded him for having executed
29 some mussel mans; whom General Avitabile bad ordered to lie
30 bung because they were of opinion, that, Under the protection of
31 ;i European governor they might beat liberty to eat beef! The
32 opinion of Kuujeet .Sjng was, that lie ought to have imprisoned
33 the criminals and then allow 'd them to escape. U is well
34 known, however, that General Avitabile wus an active man;
35 that he introduced many useful reforms into (be country, and
36 was of' grind service to the English army, on tlierr march to
