rain, and always under shelter. | al
ways wore light tannels next to the
skin, and never slept in damp clothes
Whatever else l might have to do with
out, two changes of flannel underwear
besides the one | had on, were always
at hand. Take from five to six grains
of qninine every morning, in q cup o
hot coffee if you have it, and if not
then in a cup of hot water. Have you
shoes fit YOU. The United States fur
nishes an excellent marching shoe

some light laxative once a week, there
