Excerpt from Chapter XX:

"There is no question of medical help throughout Kamchatka, as long as we leave out itinerant charlatans. Hot springs are a universal cure for everything. A chest wound or a leg jam is treated here on a par with rheumatism. They are mainly used in cases of rheumatism. Men acquire it during winter hunting, when they have to live for months in tents, and women by sitting in unevenly fueled chambers."
