(2) A hospital constructed of the same temporary materials should be provided for the reception of travellers and vagrants, as well as for such cases in which, on account of panic, the friends and relatives decline to attend to the sick; a contingency which, however, is but rarely met with in India. The patients should be left to choose their own medical attendants as far as possible, but the paid attendants should, if possible, be subjected to protective inoculation, and the people should be further encouraged to bring their sick to this hospital for treatment and nursing by themselves, but no attempt should be made to isolate the persons employed in nursing, or, indeed, to enforce isolation in any form, as experience has shown that, however desirable it might be to do so, such measures cannot practically be carried out. (3) _Protective Inoculation._--Although there is some doubt as to the extent and duration of the protection conferred by injection with Haffkine’s protective emulsion, there can be no doubt that it confers a considerable power of resistance. The operation is one that can only safely be undertaken by professional men, but it should certainly be placed at the disposal of the community wherever practicable. As a matter of example, it is as well for Europeans to submit to the process, though in view of the rareness with which they are attacked, it can hardly be considered necessary, except in the case of those whose duty brings them into close and constant association with the native community. (4) The destruction of rats is a measure of no small importance, and one which should be undertaken in all towns where there is even a probability of the introduction of the disease. Most communities possess professional rat-catchers, and the services of these men should be enlisted, though where a reward is offered for dead rats, only full-grown animals should be paid for, as otherwise it may lead to breeding rats for the sake of the reward.
