ABSTRACT
I quite forgot to mention one further necessary protection against the inhabitants of Benares — ammonia. My le eye is closed, my hand aches, and my temper is sorely tried by a late visitation of mosquitoes. Whether they were the proprietors of the Golden Temple or merely travellers by the Punjab express I cannot de nitely say — nor is it material — but they are very irritating satellites of the British tourist, so you will be well advised to carry a bottle of ammonia with your other impedimenta.
