HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD EPREpARED
TO FIGHT.
Health and DiScipline
Health and discipline are the mos, important
elements IN an army to ensure success Discipline
without health VIII prove as Intellectual as shot
without powder. Health is the propellnr force
OF the army, and is the symbol of victory
II IS, therefore, OF the greatest Importance that
the system OF medication best adapted for the pro-
lection OF soldiers against sickness as well as that
known to be the most speedy and eiFectla IN re-
storing the sick to health, without regard to pro-
tessIOnal prejudice, be adopted.
THIS is no time for medical martnets to bubble
about professional dignity. All the dignity the
profession can bring to bear will neither prevent
sickness among the troops cure those afflicted
Our armies, to be successful, must be kept in a
healthy condition.; and the most sure means of Sc
| curing this deslderatum is through the remedial
| powers of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,
which has already proved itself over fifty req
| ments now at the seat of war near Washington, TO
be positive prevention against sickness in the
| form of
| Chls and Fever, Fever and Ague,
| Bilious Fever Typhoid Fever,
| Dlafhda, Dysentery,
| Small Pox Measles,
and other maarous and infectious diseases
Bear IN mind, we say, that RGdrGy'S Reddg 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 majority
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
tact that the treatment of calomel, qulrine and
mercury in cases OF fever and ague, typhoid fever
and other tcvers of this Glass; 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 conjecture that the penalties
| OF mercural and qunine treatment will, in the
maorty ofcases, be exhibited in the form of rheu-
malsm neural gia, pains and stiffness in the Joints,
engagements of the liver, jsundco, yellow jaun-
| ders, dyspepsia, peursy, coughs, colds &C.,
which will cling to the unfortunate patient for
years.
