One such complication is mas

ever. the drawback 10 the use
OF these preparations is that
they may hide mastoiditis,

that when penicillin or the sui

There are a number of syrnp-

purportS to advise returning

THE following instructions

turned to their bases in the

tion procedure, IL IL considered
possible, although remotely so,
that some of this squadron's
personnel at some future date

In this event the information
contained herein may prove in

"In lieu OF maps, survivors In
America carry a small black
book In which are listed the
names and addresses of friendly
forces who, II properly ap-
preached, will afford the dis
tressed marines shelter, food,
drink and other essentials until
he can escape successfully back
to the Pacific. IL you have not
already done so, procure one OF
these books Immediately upon

the loan of his. He will be glad
to oblige.
