| Disease | USED TO PRODUCE ABORTION. A MIXTURE OF CARICA PAPAYA ROOT AND FERULA NARTHEX RESIN IS USED. THE ROOT OF CARICA PAPAYA WITH GIRTH ABLE TO PENETRATE THE VAGINA AND ABOUT 8-10 " LONG IS OBTAINED. AT ONE END, INCISIONS A HALF INCH DEEP IN THE SHAPE OF A(+) ARE MADE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE ROOT DOES NOT BREAK INTO SEPARATE PORTIONS. IN THESE CUTS, THE FERULA NARTHEX RESIN IS PUT, BETTER IF SOMEWHAT CRUSHED AND REFINED. THE VAGINA IS PENETRATED WITH THE PORTION CONTAINING THE FERULANARTHEX TO GO DEEP INSIDE AND MOST PROBABLY TO TOUCH THE OS OF THE UTERUS. PENETRATING AND KEEPING THE ROOT IN THIS WAY DAILY FOR 7-8 HOURS IN THE VAGINA IS SAID TO RESULT IN ABORTION, EVEN OF A FETUS 3-4 MONTH OLD. |
