According to the text, what medical and non-medical efforts were made to cure the Malegaon doctor's nephew before they decided to visit Shirdi?

As narrated in Chapter 34, extensive efforts were made to cure the nephew of the doctor from Malegaon, who was suffering from a bone-cyst. The boy's uncle was himself a physician, and he consulted with his physician friends and expert surgeons, but they all felt helpless. The text explicitly mentions that all native and foreign treatments were tried, and even surgery was attempted without success. When these medical remedies reached their limit, the family also turned to worshipping deities and their family god, but this too provided no relief. Only after exhausting all these avenues did they hear of Sai Baba of Shirdi.
