5000 deaths from cholera IN tour days.
At Donad, some fifty miles east OF
Gcdhra. he found a similar frightful
condition of affairs there having been
$500 deaths from cholera. In the hos
pitfalls the death-rate as reported by the
physicians was ninety per cent.
At Baroda. some seventy miles south
of Godhra, he found in the poorhouse
200 natives who had been rescued
from famine. The place was dreadful
ly filthy and showed a total lack Of
system.
At Ahmedabad, about eighty miles
west of Godhra, he found the water
supply vitiated and a prolific cause Of
sickness. In the pOOrhOuse at Ahmed
abad the death rate was ten per cent
daily. The thermometer at Ahmedabad
marked 115 degrees in the shade. He
next visited the smallpox and cholera
wards Of Viramgan. All the patients
were lying on the ground, there being
no cots for their accommodation.
DR.. Klopsch declares the stories Of
human bodies being devoured by vul-
lures, dogs and jackals absolutely
true.
It is evident. DR.. Klopsch adds. that
the India government Is doing its best
to fight back the ravages of famine and
disease. The native officials, however
are heartlessly Indifferent and the
condition of large part of India is. as
whole, the worst that has been known
at any time during the century. The
distress to be seen on every side is
heartrending, but it is to be feared
that the worst is yet to come. This will
be reached when the monsoon breaks
and the torrential rains flood the relief
camps and a large part of the famine
cholera.
Dr. Klopsch has purchased a thou
sand hand plows, which will be given
to those native agriculturists who have
lost their oxen. He is now arranging
for the purchase of 100000 blankets to
