faster he
would have to drink it.
Other Equipment. All this has taken much time to tell about, it has not
done much toward filling up that tin box. Dump in your toilet effects
and a bath towel, two or three scalpels for taxidermy, a ball of string,
some safety-pins, a small tool kit, sewing materials, a flask of brandy,
kodak films packed in tin, a boxed thermometer, an aneroid (if you are
curious as to elevations), journal, tags for labelling trophies, a few
yards of gun cloth, and the medicine kit.
The latter divides into two classes: for your men and for yourself.
The men will suffer from certain well defined troubles: "tumbo,"
or overeating; diarrhaea, bronchial colds, fever and various small
injuries. For "tumbo" you want a liberal supply of Epsom's salts; for
diarrhaea you need chlorodyne; any good expectorant for the colds;
quinine for the fever; permanganate and plenty of bandages for the
injuries. With this lot you can do wonders. For yourself you need,
or may need, in addition, a more elaborate lot: Laxative, quinine,
phenacetin, bismuth and soda, bromide of ammonium, morphia, camphor-ice,
and aspirin. A clinical thermometer for whites and one for blacks should
be included. A tin of malted milk is not a bad thing to take as an
emergency ration after fever.
By this time your tin box is fairly well provided. You may turn to
general supplies.
