: Observations on the means of maintaining the Health of Troops in India. 
: By Epvwarp Barrour. 
md 
y Arter some preliminary remarks, the author stated that intemperance, which had 
_ been regarded as a great cause of mortality among the troops in India, would be 
_ found to add but a very small proportion to the deaths from climatorial diseases, 
- which were known to continue in spite of the most regular and temperate habits. 
here seemed to be an unjust impression abroad that a soldier was a very intemperate 
character ; but supposing this to be true, it would be found that other classes of our 
countrymen did not enjoy a greater immunity from disease. What was the propor- 
tion of deaths amongst the highly temperate civilians of India, who were the most 
intelligent, best clad, best paid, best lodged, and most independent servants of the 
Indian government ? Although the mortality amongst the same class in England 
_ from 1801 to 1832 averaged only 9°1 per 1000 annually, according to the accounts 
SG the Equitable Insurance Society, yet Mr. H. T. Prinsep had stated that in the 
_ twenty years, from 1809 to 1828 inclusive, the Madras civilians lost 23 8 per 1000 of 
_ their strength, the Bengal civilians 25:1 per 1000, and the Bombay civilians 31-7 per 
- 1000. Tables were read to show that the human race enjoy better health. in their 
: own than in any foreign country, whatever may be their rank, duties, or comforts.
