ical Research 43, 4, 1955, 723–747 (by the Liver Diseases Sub-committee); N.C. Nayak et al. (1972). 38 Both mother or wetnurse and child have to be treated. Compare Vaṅgasena, strīroga 354–359. 39 Cf. Kāśyapasaṃhitā, Sū.20. 40 Cf. Ca.Śā.8.56. 41 K.R. Srikantha Murthy: emaciation, marasmus. 42 Cf. Soḍhala, Gadanigraha, prayogakhaṇḍa, tailādhikāra 472–475; Vaṅgasena, jvara 781–783. 43 The commentators ignore this verse, also found in some editions of the Saṃgraha (see Hilgenberg and Kirfel 528) and in Vaṅgasena’s treatise (bālaroga 136). 44 The commentators are silent on this verse, which is also found in some editions of the Saṃgraha (see Hilgenberg and Kirfel 528) and in Vaṅgasena’s treatise (bālaroga 149). The Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (I.7.186) records dantaśabda as one of the children’s diseases. 45 Cf. Vaṅgasena, bālaroga 140. 46 Compare Vaṅgasena’s verses (bālaroga 141–144) on the ominous meaning of untimely teething. Akāladanta (untimely teething) is one of Śārṅgadhara’s children’s diseases (I.7. 186). 47 K.R. Srikantha Murthy: adenoids. A disease of this name is absent from Caraka- and Suśrutasaṃhitā. Compare the descriptions found in Mādhavanidāna (68.12–13) and Vaṅgasena’s treatise (bālaroga 103–104). Vaṅgasena appears to regard the disease as identical with tālupāka (see bālaroga 105), which is, however, a different disorder (see Su.Ni. 16.45). Śārṅgadhara (I.7.187) mentions tālukaṇṭa as one of the twenty-two children’s diseases;
