Douban was recommended by his doctors.
In the country of Zouman, in Persia, there lived a Greek
king. This king was a leper, and all his doctors had been
unable to cure him, when a very clever physician came to
his court.
He was very learned in all languages, and knew a great
deal about herbs and medicines.
As soon as he was told of the king's illness he put on his
best robe and presented himself before the king. "Sire,"
said he, "I know that no physician has been able to cure
your majesty, but if you will follow my instructions, I will
promise to cure you without any medicines or outward
application."
The king listened to this proposal.
"If you are clever enough to do this," he said, "I promise
to make you and your descendants rich for ever."
