from millet stalks and a woven mat, which the displaced person takes and uses. It has a flower like a candle wick that falls off, and when the sick person uses it, they recover immediately. Among the children's illnesses, there is Abu Sagheer, a disease that affects the child, changing their color to a distinct yellow, which is known in medical texts as jaundice. There are also general illnesses affecting both young and old alike. Among these is Al-Wardah, which is fever. Hardly anyone escapes it each year, and it prevails during the autumn days and early spring, which they call Al-Durt, the time of our autumn. The fevers vary; there is Al-Wardah that comes every day at a specific hour, and Al-Ghaith, which comes one day and is absent the next. There is Al-Tathleeth, which comes every two days, and Al-Rabeh, which comes every three days, and it is the strongest type of fever, and Al-Tathleeth is a degree less than it. There is also Al-Mutfaqqah fever, which does not leave its victim except with recovery or death. In Egypt, it is called Al-Nawshah, and it is an infectious gastrointestinal inflammation in the veins of doctors. All of these, among the people of Sudan, are called Al-Wardah, and they do not distinguish between them. Among the general epidemic diseases they have is smallpox, which is like the plague in Egypt. Their fear of it is intense because it is very deadly, and whoever falls ill with it among them is isolated.
