1t is the scourge of disease which we
are now called upon to help alleviate and
dispel Our last news from the camp of
the Maine soldiers reports one hundred
and twenty of the men on the sick list
while three of the doctors have been sent
~ ChiokamauUa for treatment and to re-
cuperate, and DR.. O'Neil tells us there are

hospital which depends largely upon the
Portland Aid association for medicines
