I have patients now under treatment who have walked 130 miles for my advice; and when these go home, others will come for the same purpose.

This is the country for a medical man if he wants a large practice, but he must leave fees out of the question! The Bechuanas have a great deal more disease than I expected to find among a savage nation; but little else can be expected, for they are nearly naked, and endure the scorching heat of the day and the chills of the night in that condition.

Add to this that they are absolutely omnivorous.

Indigestion, rheumatism, opthalmia are the prevailing diseases....

Many very bad cases were brought to me, sometimes, when traveling, my wagon was quite besieged by their blind and halt and lame.
