Coolies. fe 
or loads. 
Lepchas are good ‘people for clearing land, 
but do not work well in the rains. This race ig 
dying out fast through disease and intermarriage. 
Very few are to be found on gardens, and in 
Sikkim, there are only a few on the lower ridges. 
Although most gardens have a Doctor, who 
visits when called for, the coolies will, in most 
cases, have to be doctored by the Planter. For 
coolies only a few simple remedies are gene- 
rally employed and in most cases, if they are 
not cured by the Ist and 2nd dose, they will not 
come again, and the following list will be found 
quite sufficient. A thing to be remembered is 
that the stronger a remedy is the more a coolie 
will believe in it.
