The remuneration of a native physician (kabiraj) generally depended on the pecuniary means of the patient. For ordinary cases requiring three or four days' treatment, a fee of a couple of rupees, including the price of medicine, was considered fair for a family man whose income was Rs. 20 or Rs. 30 per mensem ; at the present time and under the altered system, four times the sum would meet the requirements of such a case. In mofussil stations the amla class suflFer great distress owing to their... inability, for want of means, to obtain good medical advice and medicine for their family and children." There can be no doubt that the higher and middle classes live much more respectably than ih the old days, and, as there is nothing in the present rigvme to s])ecially favor these classes, and, as there are no such sharp diflFerences in wealth between the several grades of society as exist in European countries, the rise in the standaKd of living above noticed may be taken as an index of general prosperity.
