According to Chapter 34, what medical and non-medical efforts were made to cure the Malegaon doctor's nephew before they went to Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 34

The text of Chapter 34 provides a detailed account of the efforts made to cure the doctor's nephew of his bone-cyst. On the medical front, it is stated that the boy's uncle was a degree-holding physician himself, and he enlisted the help of his physician friends and expert surgeons. They tried a wide array of treatments, explicitly mentioning that "all native and foreign treatments were tried" and that even surgery was attempted, but all efforts were exhausted and proved unsuccessful. When these remedies failed, relatives suggested non-medical approaches, including the worship of gods, deities, and the family god. However, these also provided no relief, which ultimately led the family to hear about and seek the help of Sai Baba in Shirdi.
