Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkish Life and Character, Vol. 1 I went to Constantinople in the early autumn of 1859 to see for myself in what state of health the Sick Man was. I found him poorly, very poorly, and with all the diplomatic physicians, cane to nose, shaking their subtle heads round his Sultanic bed. They felt his pulse from time to time, and they pre scribed anti-muscovite nostrums; but, for my own part, I think they did him no good, for they merely kept the fresh air from coming to his bed, and only delayed his inevitable departure.
