full text. This is what he wrote:<br />

"As I was at his place one day, we heard screaming at thei<br />

side of the house, and when he was asked about it, he said, 'A<br />

boy was bitten by a Scorpion.' So, he brought a piece of cloth<br />

with tablets of some substance in it that smelled like kundur 25 .<br />

He took one of those tablets, had it crushed, and made the boy<br />

drink it all. Subsequently, the boy stopped screaming and he<br />

ascendant, a small amount of kundur is stamped when the D is<br />

in its first phase. I made the ring in this manner and I stamp<br />

bitten persons with it to cure them. However, I change the<br />

substance I use for stamping patients so that kundur does not I<br />

I carved the picture in the specified time and examined this<br />

talisman. I discovered through several trials its miraculous',<br />

effects. All those who tried it were very amazed.<br />

This was my motive in pursuing the research in this sensory<br />

science; I felt it because sensing is the feeling of the mind, and<br />

the limits of this feeling cannot be determined unless sensing is<br />

understood, which can be achieved by understanding thechange<br />

of how the senses react when the sensed object<br />
