He is a very sensible, well-informed man, but not altogether free from the ailing of his class--a disposition to abuse the confidence of the Government officers; and, in collusion with them, to augment his possessions in land at the cost of his weaker neighbours.
I am told here that the Tilokchund Byses, when bitten by a snake, do sometimes condescend to apply a remedy.

They have a vessel full of water suspended above the head of the sufferer, with a small tube at the bottom, from which water is poured gently on the head as long as he can bear it.

The vent is then stopped till the patient is equal to bear more; and this is repeated four or five times till the sufferer recovers.

I have not yet heard of any one dying under the operation, or from the bite of a snake.

I find no one that has ever heard of a member of this family dying of the bite of a snake.
