1 arranged with the laundress to exchange the new-born infants.
2 Hut nothing beneath the min can remain concealed, says
3 the proverb; Runject .Sing became acquainted with the
4 fact; but he showed uo displeasure at the bargain^ and adopted
5 the child as his son. He gave him an excellent education;
6 and the abilities of the adopted son soon developed themselves,
7 and caused the maharajah to entertain great regard for him, and
8 he was treated with equal respect to the royal prince; i s for
9 instance, he ordered,both to he presented with chairs (an honour
10 paid only to the highest rank), whilst the ministers and sirdars
11 were obliged to occupy inferior seats. Ultimately, with the
12 assistance of the minister Dhyun Sing, and that, of the troops,
13 after three days' hard struggle, he ascended the throne. Like
14 Runject Sing, lie was a friend to all Europeans, especially to

19 a brief account of the political events, &c., of the country in
20 which T spent so considerable a part of my life, f wilt now
21 present to the render a more ample detail of the medium system
22 to which I alluded in my preface, and also a full account of the
23 incidents which prompted me to adopt that system, feeling
24 persuaded it will prove an interesting subject.
25 My renders are aware that besides the Alloeopalhia which I
26 practised for many years, I also tried the Homoeopathic method,
27 tend my own experience, as well as that of others, brought un¬
28 to the conclusion that a rational physician may derive suc¬
29 cessful results from both systems. Nevertheless, I found that
30 the enormous doses generally administered by the A llueopaths,
31 and also the infinitesimal ones used' by the Homccnp&ths, were
32 both of them far less beneficial than they should be. This
33 observation induced me to investigate the matter with much
34 earnestness; and in the extensive practice which 1 had tit
35 Lahore, 1 was induced to adopt the medium between those
36 two e- tremes. I know well, that in politics tjjft system of juste
