Magic cure of 1821 !

From our very childhood days we have been listening to various

historical facts about our forefathers. Among them Ramdoolal 

Dey (Deb) was perhaps the most notable personality of his time. 

He was supposed to build up trade relation with America shortly

after it gained independence from the British. 

I would, however, like to relate one incident around the year 

1821. Ramdoolal was in his 69th year when paralysis overtook

him while he was writing. He fully lost control over himself and

lay prostrate upon the ground. 

Intimation about his condition reached to Messrs. Clark and 

Melville the partners of Fairlie & Fergusson & Co. who reached

by his bedside with Dr. Nicholson. The doctor took out a phial

from his pocket and allowed a drop to fall on the neck of 

Ramdoolal. A blister formed and immediately burst. The

magical drop helped the patient to sit bolt upright. Thus he

regained his voice as well as his health thoroughly!
