Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

June 26, 1936

S – the pain and discomfort increased after 2 p.m. There is a tendency of salivation. Gave 2 doses of calomel.

You are giving calomel – but is there no salt in his egg or any other food? Soup has salt in it. I think calomel should be stopped.

If you ask me to cut off all medicines or some of them, and rely on the Force, I am willing to do so.

It seems a lot of medicine – but I doubt if in S’s case we can rely on Force alone.

He can’t digest milk, so I asked for the soup. It may be inconvenient to supply from your soup, so I can ask Dyuman to buy some soup vegetables and supply them. I think that would be best.

No, it would not be best. We are asking Rajangam to manage somehow to prepare some more soup for the purpose.
