A Popular Account of the Manners and Customs of India
Part 16
There is a billiard-table in the house where we are now staying, and the doctor desires me to play as much as I can every day. Of course playing for money is never allowed. The game of billiards is about the best exercise for India. It is not too violent, yet it gives a man about three miles of walking in the hour, and brings all the limbs into play.

I am too weak to write much, and shall therefore continue at another time.
