Once upon a time there was a Hakeem sahib in a village. Anybody in the village and in adjacent villages having any ailment would knock at the door of hakeem sb. He would treat hundreds of patients everyday.
He had a novel method of treating his patients; he believed that before patient is treated and given medicine his body should get cleansed. He advised his patients not to take food or water. This process would continue till the patient stopped passing of urine and stool. That was the indication that body is cleansed and herbs would respond.
Everything was going well for hakeem and his patients till there was outbreak of cholera. Hakeem sb asked his patients to stop eating food and drinking water. There were deaths everywhere, hakeem sb did not know what to do?
Friends, this is an incomplete story. I have an end in mind, but I want my friends to suggest an end.

Hakim Sahab gave Dattur and Tethawan to the people who were spreading rumours about the spread of cholera.
ReplyDeleteHakim Sahab's fathers old friend showed him the way and the gossip mongerers were identified and axed!
Everyone started talking good things about the Hakim Sahab.
Cholera was not the problem. Misinformation was.
His father's friend was indeed a wise man!
