F.H. Skrine, Esq., I.C.S.:— X have read CharakaSamhita with interest. It is marvellously like Hyppocrates’ maxims in spirit and form. It is wonderful to note the comparatively advanced views held hy the sages of your country and hew complete¬ ly they had anticipated discoveries which we moderns hatter ourselves are due to the enlighten¬ ment of this age.
