"But what's its use?" I demanded. "You said it was harmless." "Why, the pepsin of the stomach won't digest it," he returned. "For that reason its chief use is for coating what are known as 'enteric capsules. Anything coated with keratin is carried on through the stomach into the intestines.
I only consented to the blackening of your name at at your mother's entreaty to save Netty's life from ruin and your mother from prison." "That's all right, father that's all right," cried Dick huskily, with an affected cheeriness, as he raised the stricken man. "I'm not able to grapple with it all just now. You see, I've had enteric, and am still shaky. I've thought it all out.
Men hate a fuss, but you can't escape my gratitude. I didn't want to die. It came over me with a sort of horror the thought of leaving the flowers, and the trees, and the blue sky, and all the people I love. Have you ever been so nearly dead to know how it feels?" "Once when I had enteric at school. It was a near squeak at the crisis." "And how did you feel? What did you think?"

February 25, 1900. Nearly all the patients who have passed through the field hospital during the fortnight have been poor fellows shot by snipers in arms or legs.
If he had asked me what kind of fever, I should have answered, "Enteric," though for the life of me I didn't know what enteric was. But he didn't ask me. Instead, his next question was: "And how is Rangoon?" "All right. It rained a whole lot when we were there." "Did you get shore-leave?" "Sure," I answered. "Three of us apprentices went ashore together." "Do you remember the temple?"
"You poor tired child!" she said, as she rose and crossed to her cousin's side. "This work is too hard for you; you look as if you had been fighting the Boers themselves, instead of merely enteric and bullet holes. I think it is just as well that I am here to look out for you, for a few days." Alice lifted her hand to the hand that lay against her cheek. "I am glad to see you, Cooee dear.
