Sixth Khandhaka. Chapter 10
10.
1. Now at that time the Bhikkhus who were sick had need of sifted 4 chunam as medicine.
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a chunam sieve.'
They had need of the chunam very fine.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a cloth sieve.'
2. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had a disease not human. Though his teacher and his superior nursed him, they were not able to make him well. He went to a place where swine were slaughtered, and ate the raw flesh, and drank the blood. Thereby his sickness abated.
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, in the case of a disease not human, the use of raw flesh and of blood.'

49:4 \"K"leti has often a more definite meaning than 'shake.' Compare "G"taka I, 71.
