A Fever in the Ranks

d009_fountain_of_youth_events.3

It begins with two men shivering at the fire in the heat of the afternoon, and by the third morning a dozen are down, yellow-eyed and raving. The swamps we have been wading in breed something that European bodies were never made to endure. The surgeon has his cupping bowls and his lancets, and a dwindling stock of physic besides. The locals have their own remedies, bitter teas and leaf poultices no apothecary in Seville would recognize. Neither party trusts the other's medicine, and the fever does not much care which it is offered.
