KRISH NULLAH 67 



to be careful of oneself for awhile after- 

 wards ; for after a regular Turkish bath it 

 was rather a sudden change to come out into 

 an air which was "fresh" to say the least 

 of it, with a snow-water river running only 

 a few feet off. Just now there were no 

 people there ; but when I came back that 

 way, three months afterwards, there were a 

 great number. By the shed were various 

 fires, over which parties were sitting making 

 tea; beside them stood big piles of " chu- 

 patties," or unleavened cakes, which seemed 

 to be part of the cure. The course of 

 treatment is as follows : First the patient 

 has a Turkish bath, after which he wraps 

 himself up in a vast number of shawls and 

 blankets, lies down in the shed and per- 

 spires, aided by hot tea and " chupatties." 

 As soon as he has cooled down a bit, he 

 has another bath, more blankets and tea 

 and so on, ad lib.> continuing the process 

 for as many days or weeks as he thinks fit. 

 Now, however, we had the whole place to 

 ourselves.
