also infested with their peculiar diioasss,
and are productive of wonderful veget-
able products, we'll known to possess
great medical virtues.
The land and naval surgeons OF the
English army and navy stationed at these
various posts, naturally familiarize them
selves with the successful treatment OF
these peculiar diseases. Upon their re-
turn TO England, it was perfectly natural
that they should meet together and COM
pare notes and experiences. In this way
