Chapter 34 details the extensive and ultimately futile efforts made to cure the doctor's nephew. Medically, his uncle, who was a physician himself, along with other doctors and expert surgeons, tried various treatments. The text mentions that all native and foreign treatments were attempted, and even surgery was performed, but nothing succeeded against the difficult malady known as a bone-cyst. When these remedies reached their limit, the family also turned to spiritual means. They engaged in the worship of various gods and deities, including their family god, but this too brought no relief. It was only after all these medical and spiritual avenues were exhausted that they heard about the famous saint in Shirdi and decided to seek Sai Baba's help as a final resort.
