HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD BE PREPARED
TO FIGHT.
Hedh and Discipline.
Health and discipline are the most important
elements IN an army TO ensure success. Discipline
without health will prove as Intellectual as shot
without powder. Health is the propeIllng force
Of the army, and is the symbol OF victory.
II is, therefore, ofthe 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 eiiectual IN re-
storing the sick To health, without regard TO pro-
| iesslOnai prejudice, be adopted.
THIS is no time i0r medical marincts TO qubbl.
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 a
healthy conditions; and the most sure means of Sc.
curing this desIderatum through the remedial
! powers of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,
which has already proved itself in over fifty regI
| ments now at the seat of war near WashIngton To
be I positive prevention against sickness IN the
| torn of
! Chs and Fever, Fever and Aoue
| biIiious te'er Typhoid Fever,
| DIarhGa, Dysentery,
| Small pox Measles
! and other maarlOus and infectious diseases
Bear IN mind, we say, that Rddwdy'S Readu Re-
hg VIII protect the troops exposed to these dis
eases against attacks. Now, it is conceded by all
| me medical men IN our army, that they have no
reliable means of preventing attacks OF these dis.
eases, neither nave they any positive assurance of
curing the sick; but, on the contrary the majority
| vi the sick, seized with fever and ague typhoid
bilious and other ievers either die or niger along
| until they are reduced to mere wrecks and walk
| ing skeletons. Experience has established the
iact mat the treatment of calOmeI, quipine and
mercury, IN cases OF fever and ague typhoid fever
ana other tevers of this class 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
SEX, we may readily conjecture that the penalties
oil mercurlal and quinlne treatment WILL in the
majority OF cases, be exhibited in the form of rheu
matlsm, neura ga pains and stiffness in the FONTS
engagements of the liver, jaundice, yellow iaun-
derS' dyspepsia, pleurlsy, coughs colds, &c,
"hlch Will cling to the unfortunate patient for
Years.
IN DR.. RAILWAYS REMEDIES
The soldier has Il positive preventive against at
tacks ofthese diseases.
Let every soldier carry O.tIe of
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF
IN HIS gNAPsAcK,
and when exposed to wet damp and chilly weather
or encamped in malarlous districts take a ten
spoonful, IN hall cup OF water, as drink, early
in the morning before eating and fhree ~ fam
times during the duy; and, if on picket or guard
duty, occasionally during the night he will escane
all sickness, and continue to enjoy rood health
