During
the days of poverty for the Tewari family, Tewari's wife suffered from
fever and asthma. Tewari got medicine prescribed for her from the
doctor in Bhowali by describing her symptoms to him. She did not,
however, continue taking the medicine, for it aggravated her illness.
Tewari was poor and worried. One day Haridas Baba was sitting in
Tewari's tea shop, waiting for the bus to go back to Nainital, and
Tewari told him his tale of woe. Haridas Baba used to come to Kainchi
from Hanumangarh to supervise the construction work of Kainchi ashram.
Haridas listened to him, and when the bus arrived, he left. Maharaj was
in Lucknow at the time but phoned a devotee in Nainital and told him to
tell Haridas Baba to take Dr. Premlal to Kainchi with him at once. The
doctor was to examine Purnanand's wife because she was suffering a lot.
Haridas Baba and the doctor diagnosed her fever as typhoid and
prescribed a new medicine. Seeing the original medicine, the doctor
said that she must not take it. She regained her health in a few days.
