Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

June 23, 1937

As for K, no, Sir, not in Paradise but in hell of agony, suffering, fever, brown [red] hepatisation, grey hepatisation etc., etc. (nothing to do with liver, though).

What on earth is this hepatisation? Where? Lungs? pneumonic? What etc.? Kindly be less cryptic.

We have got “Chyavanprash” for A. But, they say, it is specially meant for lung diseases, but it is also a renowned tissue builder... All cold producing things, e.g. cold water, curds, lime, fruits, cocoanuts must be avoided.

I don’t understand how a medicine for the lungs can be used in his case. He doesn’t need tissues either; but nervous energy.
