Interesting lectures were given on Army Life Abroad" Army Sur gery." and Management of Evacua ton Hospitals" The lantern slides shown were in colors and showed diff ferent kinds of wounds in many stages, allowing study to be made and discus sions on treatment to be indulged in. A special series were devoted to burns and treated in the same manner.

Take a tablespoonful four times a day. This should bring re- lief. breathing become easier. mucous stop dropping into the throat and the disagreeable head noises should grad ually disappear as Parmint should by its tonic action reduce the inflamma- ton that causes these conditions.
