Medicine to make an elephant fat (mantra gajah). This is another remedy: we take the skin of a rhinoceros' navel and soak it in water with some Siamese salt and some honey. Then we give the elephant the skin to eat with its food: we pour the liquid over the elephant and give it some to drink. We do this for 3 or 4 consecutive days.
