     Se yamo este livro Tsits Refua porke al modo de el tsits es una nada legabe de el arvol, kon todo tiene en su fuersa i es kolel un arvol entero kon sus flores i frutos, ansi este livro aunke es una nada legabe de la hohma de la dotoria, kon todo, meldandolo i entendiendolo bien se topa ke es kolel toda la hohma.

     This book is called Calico Treatment because calico’s way is nothing compared to the tree’s, with everything in its power, and an entire tree is a collection with flowers and fruits, thus while this book is nothing compared to doctorhood’s wisdom, despite everything, reading it and understanding it well it is found to be a collection of all wisdom.
