Often brings on diarrhoea. For this reason many experienced travellers carry a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with them to be used in case of an emergency.

Buy a bottle before leaving home. A. Mauoy sells it.

Here is a good illustration of the strenuous life as it is comprehended in the Western States of America.
