FROM AGRA TO OUJEIX. 6l' 



The method of extraction, pradlifed by the natives 

 at Oujein differs in nothing from that defcribed by 

 authors ; except that in the opperation of gently pull- 

 ing, and rolhng it on a pin, when they feel a reliftaiice, 

 they have recourfe to frid^ion, and comprelling the 

 part in various diredl^ions. This is not confmed to the 

 tumour, but extended over the limb to fonie dillance. 

 It is faid to loofen the worm from its adhelions to the 

 fubcutaneous parts^, and thus facilitate its extra<5lion,

 ground, the number of Itones gave fome impe- 

 diment ; and we forded three nullahs, the banks 

 oF which being Iteep, rendered the paffage of carri- 

 ages difficult.

have certain Itated feafons for procieation, we can eafily account 

 for the periodical recmicnce of the dileafe ; but I could not leara 

 at Qujc'in that it obferves any fuch regular cltcrnation in that cli-
