For S’s constipation – I shall try tomorrow enema-turpentine.

What’s this turpentine enema? drastic effect? or what gunas?

A has pain in the left arm. On palpation a nut-sized hard swelling was found. She says it’s increased latterly. It was caused by an injection in Africa. I don’t think it will be dissolved by medicines. Excision is the only way.

Operation will not leave any undesirable after-effects?
