Last year the troops here were prostrated with enteric. There is a little fever and a good deal of dysentery even now among the regulars. The stream by the camp is condemned, and all water is supplied in tiny rations from pumps.
Indeed, he is apt to become superstitious upon the subject, and to believe that a host of diseases gout and rheumatism, cholera and enteric complaints result from, and are to be cured or relieved only by subduing, hepatic disturbances. My 'Warburg' was procured directly from the inventor, not from the common chemist, who makes the little phialful for 9d. and sells it for 4s. 6d.
Trooper A, Private B, Colour-Sergeant C; the names vary, indeed, but there are only three versions of the manner of death "Died of wounds," "Died of enteric fever," "Killed in action" the three epitaphs for soldiers in South Africa. It was strange, amid the dreariness and stagnation of this place, to think of the jubilations at home. What cheering, what toasting, what hilarity!
"Do try and have a little sense, Baron von Habelschwert," said the Honourable John Ruffin, smiling upon the hope of the house of Lippe-Schweidnitz. "Pollyooly wouldn't throw any one into dykes." "Bud look at 'im!" cried the baron. "'e will the enteric fever haf!" "Oh, no. He didn't get any water into his mouth," said Pollyooly quickly. "I made him open it and looked, because Mr.
Not only had the sea been rough, but he had suffered diabolically from the inoculation against enteric fever, which, even after he had got his sea-legs, kept him to his berth and gave him a 'Day of Atonement' thirst. 'Ah! growled S. Cohn; 'he sees what a fool he's been, and he'll take the next boat back. 'But that would be desertion. 'Well, he didn't mind deserting the business. Mr.
Until the native can be brought to understand the inadvisability of using tainted water and unclean utensils, and of permitting the ubiquitous fly to pervade the larder until, I say, that millennium can be attained, the danger of enteric and other ills will always be very great in Indian hotels. Friday, October 13. Lunch with Dr.
At one time there were at least a hundred Canadians down with enteric at Orange River. The Australian hospital was also crowded. The monotony of work must have been terribly trying. It was not for him to know anything of the excitement of the battle. It was only his to witness the horrors of the carnage. His pulses did not thrill at sights of deeds of daring on the field.
Of the twelve thousand and twelve men who died, four thousand died of chronic diarrhea; eight hundred and seventeen died of acute diarrhea, and one thousand three hundred and eighty-four died of dysenteria, making total of six thousand two hundred and one victims to enteric disorders.
"Yes; I had to overhaul his things we thought he was dying and the Sonnets " "Never mind the Sonnets now, please. Tell me about his illness. What was it?" Again that air of imperious proprietorship! "Enteric," he said bluntly, "and some other things." "Where was he before they took him to the hospital?" "He was if you want to know in a garret in a back street off Tottenham Court Road."
He died in India of enteric when Di was eighteen; and before Captain March came on the scene she had liked and flirted with at least a dozen others. Besides, Eagle March was a very different "proposition," as they say in his country, from poor Jerry Taylor. There was no reason why she shouldn't think of marrying him if he wanted her, and he did want her desperately.
