Both, Shri Nathji and Priya Nath, had observed that many a time an attack of acute restlessness in the stomach could be set right by a few sips of hot water. A homeopath in Mussoorie, a certain Dr. Goyal, had told them about it. Shri Nathji always remembered the man whenever he took hot water for the gas. Priya Nath always kept a thermos filled with hot water on the large table next to Shri Nathji’s bed.
