"Even his other clothes have gone!" murmured one man, he who had poked about among the packs. "And now, Ismail, Darya Khan, ye two dunder-heads! ye bellies without brains! when was there ever a dakitar a hakim, who had not two assistants at the least? Have ye never seen, ye blinder-than-bats how one man holds a patient while his boils are lanced, and yet another makes the hot iron ready?" "Aye!

"Henceforward, then, I am Kurram Khan, the dakitar, and ye two are my assistants, Ismail to hold the men with boils, and Darya Khan to heat the irons both of ye to be my men and support me with words when need be!" "Aye!" said Ismail, quick to think of details, "and these others shall be the tasters!
The other six blind men came struggling to be next, and while King rubbed ointment on their eyes and saw that there was nothing there he could cure the whole camp began to surge toward him to see the miracle, and his chosen body-guard rushed up to drive them back. "Find your way down the Khyber and ask for the Wilayti dakitar. He will finish the cure."
