HcaHh and discipline.
Health aud discipline are the most important
elements IN an army to ensure success. Discipline
without health will prove rs Intellectual ~ shot
without powder. Health Is the propcllIUg force
ot the army, and is the symbol "t victory.
1t Is, therefore, ofthc greatest importance, that
the system Of medication best adapted tor the pro.
lection at soldiers against sickness, as well as that
known to be- the most speedy and effect Ia m re-
storing the sick to health, without regard To pro.
icsSIuuai prejudice, be adopted.

profession can bring to bear Will neither prevent
sickness among the troops nor cure those afflicted.

of the SICK, seized with fever and ague, typhoid,
bilious and other ieVcrs either die, niger along
