Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

October 5, 1936

K’s X-ray was taken. The previous lesion of the lung is healed. But a new one has appeared. For treatment, three things are necessary:

1) She mustn’t be always gloomy and depressed as she now seems to be.

What remedy for that? It’s her attachment to X that is the root – so long as she clings to that! But it’s quite true. Nothing more favourable to T.B. than this kind of depression.

2) She must take plenty of food. 3) Plenty of fresh air also.

Quite agree all points.

And cod-liver oil?

If she can stand it, yes.

Don’t know really what to do with S. Mother finds him quite healthy while he has 99° fever, pain in the abdomen, 4 or 5 motions a day!

Not nowadays!

I see no go except Santonin.

Heavens! Another?

Shivalingam has pain again! Given up the idea of injections hearing that “he is solid”.

Solidity was not stated as an objection.

M still passes 2 or 3 drops of blood in the urine. Feels a stone blocking the passage somewhere. I’m not quite sure whether it is a stone or a stricture from previous infections.

Well! Preliminary medical examination very necessary for admission¹.
