### [140.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140.3)

I mounted my horse and rode to the qazi's house, followed by my servants. Entering the house, I felt the patient's pulse. The attack was growing more and more severe, and no pulse could be felt, nor could I find out the seat of the disease. I trusted more to several secret experiments I knew, and to my questions. I racked my brains to think of something I could give to the patient that might do her good. I asked if she had been relieved, and they told me that for days she did not know what thing a motion was. This sufficed for me to start my treatment, and I told the old woman that the only thing was to administer a clyster. The old woman and the patient's son were much opposed to this, the Mahomedans having objections to this treatment. But the patient was already speechless. I said : Agar zarurat bayad, rawa bakhshad — that is, ' Necessity has no law ' — which are words of the Quran. Thus they gave in to my resorting to this treatment, and I told the old woman to come to my house in a few hours, and I would give her all that was required for the application.
