sick people sitting against a tree

September 24, 1805
Captain Lewis sick. All complain of a lax and heaviness at the stomack. Several men so unwell that they were compelled to lie on the side of the road for some time. Others obliged to be put on horses. I gave Rushes pills to the sick this evening.
