Nevertheless, we must say that the criticism of the Liberty Review is to a certain extent unjustified. We can say from experience that the pla-gue does not attack only the starving. We see that even those with a high standard of living are victimised by it. Very often all the persons in a house affected by plague get the attack. When once plague has spread in a village, it is never totally eradicated .
Persons observing the rules of hygiene are less susceptible to the plague.
Those who leave an infected village are saved. The whites are not as susceptible to the plague as Indians. The whites live more cleanly and observe the rules of health. Wherever plague breaks out outside India, it is immediately eradicated. We can see from this that plague has not much to do with starvation.
