When the physician gives a dose, he •is ex pected to partake of a similar one himself, a- n guarantee ot his good faith; should the patient d:e under his hands, the relatives, though by no means hound to exercise it in all circumstances, have the right of putting !din to death, unless a special agreement has been mode, freeing him from all re sponsibility as to the consequences; while he. should they decide on immolating him. has no reasonable ground for complaint, but is expected to submit to his fate like a man and a hakim. In other re.pects, the amateur will find an easy field. No diploma or special qualifications are required of hint ; hit ignoroce will remain undetected; the ailments art few and simple; the chunce. for recovery ore great, for the heal ing power of nature is very strung. The two drawhaelt4 I have mentioned, and to which no European need subject himself, may appear twbe very cruel eon dttivas of practice. but, in reality, they belong to the civilization (..uch ns it is) of BelooChistan, and form a protecti ,, n against w+orse-;evils. Like the_ blood-f. ud which exists is that country as well as in all the Aral, peopled deserts,' these condi tions are intended to provide for the p eser vation of life;and undoubtedly have Om effect; for, unfortunately, the ordinary eastern hakims nre not men of irreproacha ble character.

Even this is regarded its an insufficient protection. fur the hnkitn may have antidotes. As a further safe guard. it ii necessary to hold over him the puoishirent of death in the event of matters growing suspiciously wrong. In all southern Beltiochistan, however, • the European who proffers medicine is i regarded without suspicion. Aud there is nothing so extraordinary • that it may not be expected of the traveler and physi cian.

With the wounds of the Beloochees I would have nothing to do ; for exposed as they are to Hardships and' constant acci dents, the simplest treatment suffices.

I never saw this actually-done: but in two cases came upon Brahuis who had just undergone the operation. Tkc first of these was among the mountains to 1 the northwest of Las, among the passes of wnieh I was lost, and was seeking in vain to find a way to the plain below. where 'my tent was pitched. About midnight, while wandering about, unable to sleep from the cold, I got sight of some camp fires, and advancing to them, narrowly escapes being untimely slainby the alarmed Bralmis.— Luckily, however, they were aware of an amicable stranger being in their neighbor , hood, and, after the first alarm, receive] me kindly, increasing the fires, giving milk, and all sitting up to talk and smoke. One of these men showed me his hand, from which camel had torn two fingers a little after dark that night, and which he had soothed with boiling oil, in order to stop the bleed ing and prevent mortification. A thin ehth adhered to it, and over this was tied a piece of lamb's skin. The hand was a frightful ruin, but he took the matter very q•aictly, !smoking, talking, and laughing with the rest, as if nothing particular had happened. I The Ilrahuis, it must be remembered, are of I Tartar ra.-e ; and of all men the Tartars are the nnist insensible to pain, and consequent !ly the most frequent and ingenious the use of tort ore. Terrible is t h e f ate o f t h e highly nerroos and sensitive European who, as a foe; falls into their hands, to be slowly flayed alive, like General Bekevitch, or. as a slave, to be tortured during years. This I insensibility or indifference to pain was not confined to the men withwhom I met. Ono ferocious old woman, two of whose fingers had grown together from some cause or other, wished me to cut them-asunder; and, on-my declining to' gratify 'her 'desire; in sisted on-its-being done, and at last- taunt ingly,asked, if I was afraid .to. smell blood.
