At the second lodge we passed an Indian man gave Captain Clark a very elegant grey mare for which he requested a vial of eyewater which was accordingly given him…Captain Clark gave an Indian man some volatile liniment to rub his knee…The fellow soon after recovered and has never ceased to extol the virtues of our medicines and the skill of my friend Captain Clark as a physician.
