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

Health and discipline.
Health and discpn the most important
elements IN an army t. reSuccess. Discipline
without health will ~ Intellectual as shot
without powder. he propelling force
o. he army, and is I of victory.
1t IS, therefore, cfl st importance, that
the sys'am If medical adapted Tor the pro-
tectlDn NJ soldiers ag' .kness, as well as that
known e e The mo- .tdy and effect lal IN re-
stor ne tn Jck to he .h, without regard to pro-
tesspnal prejudice, be adopted.
TINS IS no time for 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 succ essiu must be kept IN
healthy condition; and the most means of Sc
curng this desidcratum is through the remedial
powr!a OF
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,
which has already proved itself in over fifty regi
menrs now at the seat of war near Washington, to
be positive prevention against sickness in the
form II
CT .iiS ana Fever, Fever and Ague,
B.ltJ1d ever Typhoid Fever,
DIarnGa, Dysentery,
Small pOx Measles,
and other ,nalarOus and infectious d. seases.
Bear 4 mind, We say, that Radway's Ready Re-
lief will protect he troops exposed to these dis
eases lgains, attacks Now, it is conceded by all
! the medical men III 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 majority
| of the SICK, seized with fever and ague, typhoid,
'lous and other teyers, either die, or niger along
I Inll they are reduced to mere wrecks and walk
! ing skeletons. Experience has established the
, fact that the treatment of calomel, quirine and
mercury IN cases OF fever and ague, typhoid fever
| and other tevers of this Glass; is more nuriou1 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 Nor the
sick, we may readily Mcclure that the pen Mites
! Of mercurial and quinne treatment will, in the
! majority ofcases, be exhibited in the form of rheu-
neuralgia, pains and stiffness in the joints,
engagements OF the liver, jaundiee, yellow jaun-
dsrs, dyspepsia, pleurlsy, coughs, colds, &C.,
| which will cling TO the unfortunate patient for
years.
IN DR.. RAILWAYS REMEDIES
the soldier has positive preventive against at
tacks ofthese diseases.
Let every soldier carry DO tie Of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF

and when exposed to wet damp and chilly weather,
or encamped IN malarious districts, take a tea
spoonful, in hall cup OF water, as a drink, early
III the morning before eating, and three or four
times during the dpy; and, if on picket or guard
duty, ocCasloHaiy uulhS lie hlRht, NE Will escape
all sickness, and continue to enjoy good health
WHEN SICK,
