Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

May 13, 1935

Till the other day patients with stomach ulcer were treated with soda bicarb, mag carb, calcium carb and Bismuth.

Very dangerous. S got his stomach curled up with these things – had to be operated.

I have found a patent drug Biomucine from Pavitra for ulcer to be followed with a strict regime.

What is inside the Bio or the murine? With strict regime she would have to stop work, I suppose, at which she will kick.

A’s right eye is almost cured, but the left one refuses and has become worse again.

The injection also was hopeless? Then it must be a purely local affair?

We are really getting tired and hopless.

[Sri Aurobindo drew a line to the word “hopless”.]

That is a good word. To be hopeless means to have no hop left in you.
