    ON THE PREVENTION and TREATMENT OF THE Disorders of4Seamen and Soldiers in Bengal, TH E numerous obfervatiOns on the pre- fervation of the health, and the cure of the difeafes of feamen, which have been pub- lifhed by navigators of the medical profeffion as well as others, have by no means exhaufted this important fubject. They have undoubt- edly fuperfeded the neceffity of long details, or regular treatifes, which would unavoidably prove, for the much greater part at leaft, a mere repetition of former publications. The information however to be procured from books, refpecting the health and difeafes of Europeans in Bengal, is neither ample nor fatisfa&ory. One or two authors only have written any thing material in this line j and it were perhaps to be wifhed, as far as re- gards the treatment, that flill lefs had ap- B peared.
