Zweifel Aug 17, 1950 melady, summer dysentery. No matters how much medicine she gave it; the child got worse. After a little questioning, Clay found that the woman had been feeding the kid milk of magnesia tablets! Last evening there was a rain which by my standards was heavy, but according to Clay was but a sprinkle. This has been one of the driest Augusts in a long time, and crop failure is a real possibility. Aug 18, 1950 Ken has shown some signs which could be interpreted as indicating amoebic dysentery, so we have decided to cut our trip off short and head for the states tomorrow. He has stalled the diodoquin treatment. Those The snakes brought in today bring our total up to 91 for Eusibola alone. We hope to break 100 before we leave tomorrow morning. A Rhinoceros brought me today is more like the typical anthrax than was the last specimen. This one has red areas both of the interspaces prominent dorsally as well as laterally.
