Hedih and Discipline.
Health and discipline are the most important
elements III an army 10 ensure success. Discipline
without health will prove as Intellectual as shot
without powder. Health Is the propellIng force
of the army, and is the symbol of victory.

the system of medication best adapted Tor the pro-

known to be the most speedy and elloCtIal ~ re-
storing the sick to health, without regard to pro-
iessunal prejudice, be adopted
This is no time for medical martncts to bubble
