Cases of Poisoning (I)

Our “poisoned” patient has, to our surprise, recovered. Our medical authority says that castor oil seeds are highly toxic and that 10 seeds are the extreme limit. This chap took more than three times 10! Is medical science mistaken or has your Force worked or is it the antidote of cowdung given by some villagers that did the miracle?

Perhaps it was Force plus the cowdung that did it. You know the proverbial Cromwellian “Trust in God and keep the powder dry.” – So “Open to the Force and keep your cowdung handy” would be the recipe for castor-oil-seed-eaters.
