Rustom found out that the dog had run away and no one else had been hurt. Baba lovingly consoled Peeraji, and the next day had him transferred to the Ahmednagar Civil Hospital. Baba made all arrangements for Peeraji's care and told him not to be afraid, assuring him he would be well treated. After some time, Peeraji returned to his village hale and hearty. From such endearing incidents, the simple farming villagers came to love Meher Baba devotedly, knowing that they would be looked after by the Master.
When the hospital first opened, Dr. Karkal could not understand why the Master suggested certain medicines for different patients. He would think Meher Baba's prescriptions were quite inappropriate under the circumstances, for the Master would suggest peculiar medicines for certain types of illnesses. At times, Dr. Karkal became annoyed with the situation and would wonder, "Is Meher Baba the doctor here or am I?" But he was indeed astonished when he realized that all the patients who followed the Master's method of treatment had recovered. Karkal slowly became convinced that their recovery was solely due to Meher Baba's blessings. Thereafter, in serious cases, Karkal did not hesitate to consult the Master about what treatment to administer. When a patient survived a critical illness, a special celebration would be arranged in his or her honor, and Baba would compliment Karkal, Padri and Pendu.
On 14 April 1925, Baba left for Bombay to purchase khaki material for the children's school uniforms. Upon his return four days later, he immediately went to the hospital and spoke with every patient and worker. After careful inspection of the hospital and its management, he went to the school where he inquired about the children's health, food, and studies. He then consulted with the mandali about any problems that might have arisen in his absence. Only after he attended to all these matters did Baba relax after the tiresome journey. Thus, the Master was mindful of every particular detail concerning life at Meherabad; he would not tolerate the slightest slothfulness or carelessness on any worker's part.
A local tailor named Waman Dani was hired to stitch the uniforms for the children. Baba insisted the tailor cut the cloth in his presence, making certain the man did a proper job.
Because of his hurry to return to Meherabad, Baba did not go to see Munshiji in Bombay. When Munshiji learned that Baba had come to Bombay and left without seeing him, he became so disturbed that he stopped eating.
