Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

April 26, 1936

R. Reddy has fever and headache. Advised eau de cologne on the forehead. As soon as he had applied it, his eyelids swelled so much that the eyes closed. The nose began to water and rapid breathing started – almost an asthmatic attack. At 4.30 p.m. it came down.

Will not eau sédative (it has comphor) be suitable and replace these other things for the head? Eau de Cologne can easily upset one who is quite unaccustomed to alcoholic treatment.

What are the odds of the poem?

Stuck up in the clods of correspondence?
