Now, as the apprehension of the return of my distemper terrified me very much, it occurred to my thought that the Brazilians take no physic but their tobacco for almost all distempers, and I had a piece of a roll of tobacco in one of the chests, which was quite cured, and some also that was green, and not quite cured.
Como temía que volviera el malestar, se me ocurrió que los brasileños no toman otra medicina que su tabaco para casi todas sus dolencias y que, en uno de mis arcones, tenía un trozo de un rollo de tabaco que estaba bastante curado y otro poco que aún estaba verde y menos curado.
