add to cart   close window

The author here presents his views on the economic and political conditions of Egypt. The author remarks that the people there, afflicted with all the ten plagues of the Bible, live, starve, sicken, and die in unimaginable misery. The police of a Western country would not permit pigs and goats to be kept in the huts of Egyptian villages. Egypt has a population of eighteen to twenty million, 58 per cent suffer from bilharziasis, the terrible eye disease which causes premature blindness. As for hospitals, a wealthy deputy, whose son presented him with an ambulance for the use of the peasants on his property was accused in Parliament by his colleagues of spoiling the people.
