They Treat Diseases.
Regarding the native treatment of
diseases, one of the most curious things
I ever witnessed was a half-clad native
shouting: ''Does any one want back his
sightP One rupee, only!'' as if he were
hawking fruits or sweetmeats; and, to
my astonishment a patient soon pre-
sented himself to be operated on for
cataract. There and then, standing in
the bazaar, the Inherent Oculist took
out his pen-knife and performed the
operation in a few minutes, bound up
the mans eyes, and telling him to keep
in the dark for a fortnight, received
his fee of one rupee and shouted his
war-cry for more patients. The opera
tion was almost unvaryingly success
full; one instance among my servants
being a woman of eighty, who had
charge of my fowl house, and had for
many day been sightless, except to
distinguish light from darkness, and
who in this way was successfully oper-
ated upon. Besides this operator are
bone-setters and medical-rubbers,
male and female, especially repre-
sented by the hereditary lOw-caste
accoucheuse of each village, whose skill
in shampOoing is such an aid in her
lowly calling, as the natives regard it,
as to supplant much of the useless med
icine and enforced rest of more civil
lized countries, and save endless mis-
chief and suffering to her sex. What
skill they have is, of course, almost
purely traditional. None of the science
of the world of British usage has get
altered in the slightest degree either
the customs of the native or his horror
of the idea of male physicians for
women, especially in certain ailments,
and their wonder of our obtuseness and
disregard of propriety on so delicate a
point. To supply a vacancy so long
untitled, lady doctors have now ap-
peared on the scene, who, it is hoped
by reaching the zenanas, may reach
the real source through which higher
enlightenment in India is possible. An
immense field is open to them along
with every encouragement; and were
but some Of the many young ladies at
home, who are straining health for
future pittance in one or other of the
spheres of teaching, to turn their atten-
tion in this direction, they would find
an opening of wider and greater utiliyt
before them and a prospect of large
and rapid emolument.- - Chamber s
