Commentary
Man's whole structure has been so fashioned in the primordial state that he is as if in a camp encircled by ninety-nine calamities and diseases, anyone of which could cause his death at any time or moment. Should he survive all of these, there is last of all the incurable disease of old age which, when it comes, does not part company until death.
