**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara states: **For jaundice,** one should drink **two** of the three ingredients mentioned together **with beer, and one becomes sterile** from it. The Gemara continues to discuss this remedy: **And if** one does **not** have these ingredients, i.e., Alexandrian gum, saffron, and alum, or if the remedy did not work, **let** one **bring the head of a salted *shibuta*** fish **and boil it in beer and drink** it. **And if** this is **not** effective, **let** one **bring grasshopper brine** and drink it. **And if one does not have grasshopper brine, let** one **bring brine** of **small birds, and enter the bathhouse, and smear himself** with it. **And if there is no bathhouse, have him stand between the oven and the wall** and sweat out his disease. **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: One who seeks to warm** this patient up **should wrap him** tightly **in his sheet. Rav Aḥa bar Yosef was sick with** this disease, **and Rav Kahana performed this** remedy **for him and he was healed.**

[Shabbat 110b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110b:5)

הָהוּא טַיָּיעָא דְּחַשׁ בֵּיהּ, אֲמַר לֵיהּ לְגִינַּאי: שְׁקוֹל גְּלִימַאי וְהַב לִי מֵישָׁרָא דְכַרָּתֵי. יְהַב לֵיהּ וְאַכְלַהּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אוֹשְׁלַן גְּלִימָיךְ וְאֶיגְנֵי בֵּיהּ קַלִּי. אִיכְּרַךְ גְּנָא בֵּיהּ. כַּד אִיחַמַּם וְקָם, נְפַל פּוּרְתָּא פּוּרְתָּא מִינֵּיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It is reported that **a certain Arab was sick with** jaundice. **He said to the gardener: Take my cloak and give me a row of leeks** in exchange. The gardener **gave him** the row **and he ate it.** The Arab **said to** the gardener: **Lend me your cloak and I will sleep in it for a short while.** The gardener gave it to him and **he wrapped himself in it and slept. When he got hot and stood up** pieces **fell from** the cloak **bit by bit** because the cloak had become very hot from the Arab’s sweat. The Arab tricked the gardener, who ultimately received nothing.


###### Shabbat 110b:6
[Shabbat 110b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110b:6)

לְיַרְקוֹנָא תְּרֵין בְּשִׁיכְרָא, וּמִיעֲקַר. וּמִי שְׁרֵי? וְהָתַנְיָא, מִנַּיִין לַסֵּירוּס בָּאָדָם שֶׁהוּא אָסוּר — תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וּבְאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ״ — בָּכֶם לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי חֲנִינָא. הָנֵי מִילֵּי — הֵיכָא דְּקָא מִיכַּוֵּין, הָכָא — מֵעַצְמוֹ הוּא. דְּאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: הָרוֹצֶה שֶׁיְּסָרֵס תַּרְנְגוֹל — יִטּוֹל כַּרְבׇּלְתּוֹ, וּמִסְתָּרֵס מֵאֵלָיו. וְהָאָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: רָמוּת רוּחָא הוּא דִּנְקִיטָא לֵיהּ. אֶלָּא בְּסָרִיס.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara discussed the remedy **for jaundice,** saying that one should drink **two** of the ingredients mentioned together **with beer, and one becomes sterile** from it. The Gemara asks: **And is it permitted** to cause sterility? **Wasn’t it taught** in a *baraita*: **From where** is it derived **that castration of a man is prohibited? The verse states:** “Those whose testicles are bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, shall not be offered to the Lord, **and you shall not do this in your land”** (Leviticus 22:24), meaning that **you shall not do it to yourselves;** this is **the statement of Rabbi Ḥanina.** Apparently, it is prohibited to castrate a man. The Gemara answers: **This** prohibition **applies** only in a case **where one intends** to castrate. **Here,** in the cure for jaundice, the sterility **happens on its own,** incidental to the treatment. Proof is cited from that which **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: One who seeks to castrate a rooster should remove its comb and it will become castrated on its own.** Incidental castration is permitted. The Gemara rejects the proof. **Didn’t Rav Ashi say: It is arrogance that it assumes** when it has its comb, and when the comb is removed it becomes depressed and no longer procreates. However, it is not actually castrated. **Rather,** apparently this remedy for jaundice is permitted only for **one who is castrated** and for whom causing sterility is not a concern.
