be administered. A case where the food remains still
undigested (in the intestines) should be treated (with
fastings and digestants) as in a case of mucous diarrhoea.
A pleasant or tasteful purgative should be given in a
moderate dose in the event of a previous one having
been ejected on account of its obnoxious taste and ab-

the event of the second also being not retained in the
stomach. At this stage, purging should be effected
with the help of a lambative (Leha) prepared with
honey, clarified butter and treacle. 4.

to vomit the contents of his stomach with draughts of
