HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD BE PREPARED
TO FIGHT.
Health and Discipline.

Health and Discipline.
Health and discipline are the most important
elements IN an army to ensure success. Discipline
without health will prove as Intellectual as shot
without powder Health is the propelllng force
of the army, and IL the symbol of victory.
1t IS, therefore, ofthe greatest importance, that
the system of medicato best adapted for the pro-
lection OF soldiers against sickness as well as that
known to be the most speedy and effect nal in re-
storing the sick to health, without regard to pro-
iessional prejudice, be adopted.
This IS no time tor medical martInets to bubble
about professional dignity. All the dignity the
profession can bring to bear will neither prevent
sickness among the troops nor cure those afflicted.
Our armies, to be successful, must be kent in a
healthy condition; and the most sure means of Sc
curing this desderatum is through the remedial
powers of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,
which has already proved itself in over fifty regl
ments at the seat of war near Washington to
be positive prevention against sickness in the
form of
Chills and Fever, Fever and Ague,
Bilious Fever Typhoid Fever,
DiarhGa, Dysentcry,
Small POY Measles,
and other malarous and infectious diseases.
Bear in mind, we say, that Radwdy's Ready Re-
lief will protect the troops exposed to these dis
eases against attacks. Now, it is conceded BY all
the medical men in our army, that they have no
reliable means Of preventing attacks OF these DIS
eases, neither have they any positive assurance of
curing the sick; but, on the contrary, the ma orty
Of the sick, seized with fever and ague, typhoid,
bilious and other evers either die, or niger along
| until they are reduced to mere wrecks and walk
ing skeletons. Experience has established the
fact that the treatment of calOmeI, quirlne and
mercury, in cases of fever and ague, typhoid fever
and other ievers of this class, is more injurious in
camps than in private practice, when We take into
| consideration that canvass walls and exposure to
| heavy dews and the malaria from pools of water
and damp grounds, prove but poor shelter for the
sick, we may readily con lecture that the penalties
OF meTcurlal and quinlne treatment will, in the
majority of cases, be exhibited in the form of rheu-
matism, neuralgia, pains and stiffness in the joints,
engagements OF the liver, aundiee, yellow iaun-
ders, dyspepsia, pleurisy, coughs, colds, &C.,
which will cling to the unfortunate patient for
| years.
IN DIR. RAILWAYS REMEDIES

times during the dpy; and, if on picket or guard
