rence of plague.

* The Secretary of State has laid stress on the need for showing consideration
towards doctors and nurses sent from England for plague duty in this country and
the Government of India have decided that some' liberality should be exercised in
the grant of allowances to nurses to defray sncli expenses as they may be called
upon to incur in the discharge of their duties, and that they should not be expected
to defray the cost of carriage from their salary.
