PUBLIC HEALTH WORK IN INDIA: II. A REVIEW OF THE NATURE AND PROGRESS OF SANITATION.
For a type of Hindu conception of sanitary precaution, Mr. Jenks notes three kinds of "boiled" water: first, water merely heated till it steams; second, really boiled, but then strained through dirty cloths, and, third, really boiled, but cooled by adding raw water. Such practices and the distribution of drinking water in leather sacks, customs universally observed like the great gatherings of pilgrims, together with religious prejudices make sanitary progress very slow.
