stove. The furniture of the interior
was as rough as the cabin itself; three-legged stools, puncheon floor, a bed
built against the wall, and a small table generally comprised the interior of
the shack. The walls, through which numerous breezes penetrated, were
hung on the inside with animal skins, that is, if such skins were procurable.
However crude these homes might have been, the health and sturdiness of
the occupants was mighty, and many of those who live today in luxury and
idleness would swap their all for this strength of body and mind. A great part of the land in central Indiana in those days was swampy.
Sloughs were scattered through the forests and were far from healthy.
Ague among the settlers was an established illness, and the best remedy was
quinine and whiskey, the latter in quantities. Fevers, the intermittent kind
which attend malaria, were frequent too. The people believed many peculiar
things about these ailments and the fear of miasma and germ-laden atmos-
phere was wholesome.
