After a hard day's work in this climate it is impossible either to relish or to digest goat's flesh or tough chicken and the result is weakness followed by fever, anaemia or dysentry.
They tore their hands with the darts of the aloes; great mosquitoes buzzed in their ears, and dysentry was breaking out in the army. They were weary at not yet seeing Sicca. They were afraid of losing themselves and of reaching the desert, the country of sands and terrors. Many even were unwilling to advance further. Others started back to Carthage.
Panvinio, who, being a Neapolitan, was not likely to be any too friendly to the Pope as, indeed, he proves again and again tells us positively that Djem died of dysentry at Capua. 1 Vitis Pontif. Rom. Sanuto, writing to the Council of Ten, says that Djem took ill at Capua of a catarrh, which "descended to his stomach"; and that so he died.
Diseases, to which in a savage state young children are peculiarly liable, such as dysentry, cold, and their consequences, etc. Fourthly. Wars and quarrels, occurring sometimes from the most trivial circumstances, and often ending in deaths, or wounds that terminate in death.

Between, and sometimes on the decks, the wounded, the sick, and the dying were crowded men who had just undergone the amputation of limbs, men in the clutches of fever or of frostbite, men in the last stages of dysentry and cholera without beds, sometimes without blankets, often hardly clothed.
He had scarcely readied the island of Tongatabou when the vessel struck upon the rocks that surround this island; he saved himself by swimming to the shore, having lost everything. From thence he went to the Marianne islands, where grief and bad food caused him to fall ill; he returned to Manilla, labouring under dysentry.
It concerned the Dutch again. The Colonel patient man intimated in reply that the families in question had already twice refused to leave him, and that he could not force nor drive them. The Boers, we gathered from their envoy, were sick with typhoid fever, sick with dysentry, sick of the war altogether so sick, indeed, that part of our visitor's mission was to borrow medicines and a doctor.
