A Digest Of The Vital Statistics Of The European And Native Armies In India PDF Download

Excerpt from A Digest of the Vital Statistics of the European and Native Armies in India: Interspersed With Suggestions for the Eradication and Mitigation of the Preventible and Avoidable Causes of Sickness and Mortality Amongst Imported and Indigenous Troops The necessity for a comprehensive digest of the Vital Medical Statistics of the Indian Forces suggested itself to the Author immediately after the Mutiny of the Bengal Native army in 1857. When he first began to record and arrange the results of his investigations, and to subject them to the process of analysis, his intention was only to prepare a concise paper, for publication in one of the scientific periodicals of the day. But as his researches advanced to maturity, the great importance of the facts elicited, the wide range of their application to different classes of our own, and to a large section of the Asiatic race, together with the unavoidable bulk of the production, have induced him to hope that it might not be unacceptable to his professional brethren even in its present unfinished and unembellished state.
