You must understand that people in the 1800's had no idea that microbes existed. They didn't know that things could be transmitted by these small unseen things. Dysentery was caused by bacteria, virus, or an amoeba as it is now. People often had blood in the stool and frequent watery stools. They could lose as much as a liter of fluid a day. More than 80,000 Union soldiers died of this during the civil war.
Parts of the Kapok tree is used in areas where it grows. About the only treatment then was water replacement and ingestion of clay. Today clay is found as kaolin and is in medicines for very loose stools.
