with the treatment of alopecia (Indra-lupta) should be employed in cases of Romáda worms (viz. where the worms would be found to have invaded the hairs of the body). Medicines enumerated in connection with the treatment of the diseases of the mouth should be prescribed in cases of Dantáda worms (viz., where the vermins would be found to have taken lodgment in the teeth). Cases where the worms would be found to have their origin in the vitiated condition of the blood should be treated as cases of Kushtha to all intents and purposes. The drugs of the Surasádi Gana, however, may be used in any shape *[1] in any case (of Krimi). 17.
Diet: — Meals composed of the articles of bitter and pungent tastes as well as draughts of milk mixed with the soup of Kulattha-Pulse are recommended . A person suffering from any complaint due to the presence of worms (Krimi of whatever kind) and seeking their destruction, should refrain from using milk, cooked meat, clarified butter, curd, pot-herb (edible leaves), things of acid or sweet tastes as well as cold things in general. 18.
Thus ends the fifty-fourth chapter in the Uttara-Tantra of the Sus'ruta Samhitá which deals with the (symptoms and) treatment of Krimi-Roga.
