HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD BEPREpAREp
TO FIGHT.
Health and Discipline.
Health and discipline are the most important
elements IN an army to ensure success Discipline
without health will prove as Intellectual az sbo,
without powder. Health is the propelling force
o1 the army, and is the symbol of victory
II Is, therefore, OF the greatest Importance that
the system OF medication best adapted Tor the pro-
lection OF soldiers against sickness, as well as that
known to be the most speedy and clIectual in re-
storing the sick to health, without regard to pro-
iessional prejudice, be adopted.
This 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 successful, must be kept in
healthy condition; and the most sure means of Sc
curing this desIderatum is through the remedial
powers of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,
which has already proved itself in over fifty req
ments now at the seat of war near Washington 10
be positive prevention against sickness in the
form of
Chills and Fever, Fever and Ague.
Bilious Fever Typhoid Fever
DlarhGa, Dyseutrry
Small Pox Measles
and other malarous and infectious diseases
Bear IN mind, we say, that Rddtrdy'S Readu Re-
hg VIII protect the troops exposed to these dis
eases against attacks. Now, il is conceded bv all
me 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 majority
OF the sick, seized with fever and ague. typhoid
bilious and other fevcrs, either die or niger along
uhtll they are reduced to mere wrecks and walk
ing skeletons. Experience has established the
TACT That the treatment of calomel, quirIne and
mercury IN cases of fever and ague, typhoid fever
and other tevers of this class, is more injurious in
camps than IN private practice, when we take into
consideration that canvass walls and exposure 10
heavy dews and the malaria from pools of water
and damp grounds prove but a poor shelter for the
sick, we may readily conjecture that the penalties
OF mcrcurlal and quinine treatment will, in the
majority fcases, be exhibited in the form of rheu-
matish neuralgia, pans and stiffness in the Joints
engagements OF the liver, jaundice, yellow iaun-
dcrs, dyspepsia, pIeurisy, coughs colds. &C.,
