Excerpt from Letters From Foreign Lands
In my next communication I will refer to the medical situation in Turkey, but in the meantime will call attention to the fact that every person in the Sultan's dominions looks upon himself as a Specialist, since he fixes his charges in proportion to what he thinks his patron is able or willing to pay. There are no prices for anything in the country. The prices asked,even by the boot-blacks, the barbers and the bakers are such as the case is likely to bear and without sharp bargaining strangers get woefully fleeced.
