Measles. I-Masisi. Scarlatina. I-Rashalala, or more usually Ungana. These two diseases are considered as one, scarlatina being the more grave. Treatment:—a Fresh goats dung, “Ingqata,” is taken and boiled in goats milk and this drunk hot in cupfulls. It helps to bring out the rash and cause profuse perspiration. The remaining dung is dried, powdered, mixed with fat and rubbed all over the body. b. Wormwood (Um-hlonyane) is also sometimes used for steaming the patient, and if the throat be bad, infusions are gargled, made from a mucilaginous wood the (Indlebe yemvu) Helichrysum appendiculatum (Less). c. The leaves and shoots of (Um-pafa) wait-a-bit thorn tree, are boiled, the steam inhaled and the concoction gargled. d. The throat may be fomented and poulticed. e. The poison taken from a snake, mixed with gall (from the snake) and clay is also given in small quantities by some doctors. Mealie-meal porridge and meat-soups are allowed and solids forbidden. So it is in all fevers. Smallpox. In-gqakaqa, as in the case of Measles. Typhoid Fever. I-cesina Seronya. This is the typical Kaffir fever disease, caused by the entrance of the snake, In-qumbabane and its eating the patient up inside. Treatment:—a. The patient is steamed, dosed, and rubbed all over with wormwood (Unhlonyane), the dosing being very liberal. All intended to prevent the snake killing the man and to drive it out of him. b. The following herbs are also used as the infusions of their roots:—I-tshongwe (Xysmalobium lapatifolium) Dutch: Bitter wortel, and ubuvumba (Withania somnifera.) The residuum of any of the above infusions is well rubbed over the orifices, to prevent the In-qumbabane from entering in numbers. The couch and hut are strewn with the leaves of evil smelling plants and even nicotine has been used to rub round the orifices, principally the anus, through which the snake usually enters and the I-qwili (Alepidea amatymbica), an evil smelling plant is similarly used. Diet as in fevers generally. Memo. Owing to the practice of throwing refuse and excreta about the neighbourhood of kraals, this disease, as might be expected, often occurs in epidemics. Anthrax. I-dila. A disease well-known to the natives, and treated by their doctors with great success. It is contracted by the natives feeding on the meat of anthractuose cattle. So confident are the natives in their power to cure the disease, should it appear, that they have little hesitation in eating the infected meat; a fair proof of the success of their doctors’ practice. The procedure is this:—Generally speaking, be as early as possible, for should the pustule, which under their treatment should rise properly, be allowed by delay to subside, a native doctor will not undertake the case, as he considers it useless to do so.
