A first-person memoir describes hands-on charitable work among people afflicted with leprosy in colonial Calcutta, portraying daily life in asylums, personal encounters with sufferers, efforts to raise a dedicated leper fund, public meetings and benefit performances, and the collaboration of clergy and medical practitioners. The narrative stitches together vivid portraits, hospital scenes, advocacy for European and Eurasian patients, and practical details about treatment, while an appended medical chapter provides a clinical overview of the disease. The voice combines humanitarian concern with reporting on social attitudes, institutional shortcomings, and attempts to improve care through local fundraising and organized support.
