The surest way taking the plague. If we try to purify their water and food we 336 A VAGABOND JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD have a riot on our hands. The huts, too, are so packed together and burdened with filth that the only way to clean them would be to burn up the town. We have a force of government doctors. Medicine, also, is free to all. But you know my people. They would far rather die of plague than run the risk of losing caste through the doctor's touch. If a man dies, his family prefers to s...coop a hole in the floor and squat on his grave, rather than to turn his body over to Chris- tians or Mohammedans. We have strict laws against concealing sick- ness and death, but it is difficult to enforce them. To make things worse, the rumor is always going the rounds that the sahib govern- ment has ordered the doctors to poison their patients or cast a spell upon them; and among the masses such tales are readily believed. What can you expect of ignorant, fanatical people who barely realize that reading and writing exist, and who never learn anything except on hearsay?
