Listen to me! Take no more sicken- ing, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated Don't lose a days work!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking 1t up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness. coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just take spoonful of harmless Dod- sons Liver Tone.

been taxed to it's utmost to meet this sudden influx from the great offensive. Its capacity was suddenly swollen from 300 to 1900 or 1900, with consider able part of the arrivals Americans. Five hundred cases arrived in a sin gle day of the June fighting. Most of them were original cases, direct from the field and not yet operated On. They had come in ambulances, two days on the road. for there are no rail- roads linking the remote storm centers where the enemy strikes his surprise blows But great as the emergency was, it was successfully met, and in the first call made upon 1t to care for American wounded the big American institution added another page to its record of devoted service.
 DAILY INSPECTION
 At 10 o'clock this morning the di- recting surgeon started on his daily inspection of the cases under his care and going With him, one had the oi portunity of seeing the magnitude of this work, the smoothness with which 1t was proceeding, with here and there glimpse of the American wounded marines, artillerymen, infantry and machine gun men. The war surgeons with their staffs of nurses had cared for the cases through the night and day, and now the chief surgeon was making his tour to see how each case had progressed and to direct the fur ther course of treatment
 Ahead, stretched the long corridor. with cots filled with wounded lining one side, while the wards opened from the other side. The corridor was bathed with sunshine from the long row of windows, and many of the men had their windows open taking a sun bath One of them had the idea that the sum- shine wound be a healing balm for his wound, and the ugly opening in the left arm was laid out so as to get the full slant of the sun. There was lit- tie or no odor of anasthetics or drugs. such as one is apt to associate with hospitals. Everything was scrupulous- ly clean, floors. windows, bed linen. women were at work making every nook and corner immaculate: cases of bright flowers were on all the nurses tables to give an air of cheer, and the whole place had the stamp of comfort.
 These corridors have had to be used as wards during the heavy influx of wounded from the big fights of early June, when every available corner of the building was suddenly called into use, doubling and trehlng it's beds within two days. Gradually, however. the French cases are going to French hospitals. and all the American cases will soon be installed in the regular wards.
