I then started for Allahabad, and from Allahabad I went to Agrah, where was King Shahjahan, still kept with the same rigour as ordered by King Aurangzeb, who was then in Kashmir. The routes I had traversed are much frequented, full of villages and saraes, food being good and cheap. Some time after my arrival in Agrah there came to my house a Dutch surgeon named Jacob, a fugitive from the harbour of Goa, having killed a man when the Dutch blockaded the entrance to that place. His visit was most opportune. For the governor of the city, who suffered from a fistula, had sent for me to see if I could cure him. None of the Europeans living in the fort knew the proper treatment, nor was there any Mahomedan surgeon who would venture to deal with the case. I asked Jacob, who was unable to speak Moors, and was a poor, miserable creature, whether he had the courage to treat such a complaint. He replied in the affirmative, and so I went with him to the governor, and in a short time we cured him, when he gave us a considerable sum for our trouble, besides the presents sent to me during the time we were attending him. Thus little by little I began to turn myself into a physician, although I did not make bold to announce myself as such. - [Previous: 104.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.2) - [Next: 104.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.4) - [Up: 104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.3) · Pramāṇa
