But now came the moment when our Nicolao Manuchy found himself in a difficulty. For I knew not what ingredients I must employ, nor to what implements I could have recourse for this wonderful operation. After much searching of heart, I recollected that the enemas administered to me at Goa were concocted of mallows, wild endive, and some other herbs, with a trifle of bran, black sugar, salt, olive oil, and Canna fistula. I sent out for these things, and made a concoction. But the greatest difficulty was to get the instrument. For this I sent and got a cow's udder, and for the tube I took a piece of cane from a huqqah snake, through which the Mahomedans draw their tobacco. I managed to put these together in a manner that would serve. I placed the concoction into the udder, and fastened the tube to it. Then the old woman came, and to her I made over the injection, teaching her how she was to deal with it. I enjoined on her to come and inform me when the operation had been performed. - [Previous: 140.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140.3) - [Next: 140.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140.5) - [Up: 140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.140.4) · Pramāṇa
