Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Because by substance, place, time and state things have many-sided natures; if water, ghee, milk and food were wholesome in every way, they would have to be used even in new fever, diarrhoea, kushtha, fistula-in-ano, eye diseases and wounds.
Detailed answer
Arguing from syadvada, the translation rejects the one-sided view that water, ghee, milk and food are absolutely wholesome and fire, alkali and poison absolutely unwholesome. The 'wholesome' things would then have to be given even in new fever, diarrhoea, kushtha, fistula-in-ano, eye diseases and wounds, while poison, alkali and fire are themselves used to treat some diseases, poison being said to destroy poison.
