Reading edition
The following methods are resorted to for the curing of faintness: (a) the patient is made to smell (di-isapkan), first with one and then with the other nostril, the bottom of the copper (or brass) receptacle (pĕkaporan) in which the lime, which is one of the invariable concomitants of the betel-chewing apparatus, is kept; (b) the “rattan” (rotan sĕga) “cure,” which is said to consist in charring the end of a piece of rattan (rotan sĕga), taking the burnt end in the mouth, and blowing the smoke into the patient’s ear (di-ĕmbuskan). ↑
