Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

I consulted doctors in the hospital about D’s case. They say it is a mild form of colitis, and recommend Stovarsol – which is a very strong drug; or Biolactyl – a product of intestinal flora, which is very mild. Perhaps Mother won’t favour any medicine.

No. Neither stova nor flora.

A is complaining very much of his ill health, physical depression, lack of energy, which are constantly increasing, so much so that it is impossible for him to do any mental work. Something has to be done. But first we must know the cause. Anémie cérébrale? slow poisoning by liver or kidney? something else? Mother wants you to arrange for the usual examinations (urine, blood) so that it may be found out.
