23. Saving from Tachiyamai Disease Saku Matsumura was staying with her parents, the Kohigashis, in order to recuperate from tachiyamai disease. On January 10, 1871, she returned to Jiba to pray for her recovery. Oyasama told Saku various inspiring stories. Then She combed her hair, crushing one by one the lice which had bred during her long illness and fever. In addition, a bath was prepared and Oyasama washed the dirt off Saku's body. Because of Oyasama's careful and warm nursing, Saku remarkably recovered her health within three days. |
二三 たちやまいのおたすけ 松村さくは、「たちやまい」にかかったので、生家の小東家で養生の上、明治四年正月十日、おぢばへお願いに帰って来た。 教祖は、いろいろと有難いお話をお聞かせ下され、長患いと熱のためにさくの頭髪にわいた虱を、一匹ずつ取りながら、髪を梳いておやりになった。そして、更に、風呂を沸かして、垢付いたさくの身体を、御手ずから綺麗にお洗い下された。 この手厚い御看護により、さくの病気は、三日目には、嘘のように全快した。 |
