MILITARY CAMPS
TAKAPAU AND ORINGI COMPARE!*
Officers and men attending camps is wet weather have vivid recollections ol sore, throats and feverish chiller inseparably connected with dajnp fe»t and sudden changes of temperature. At the OrLmri camp in 1913 the medical staff wero kept busy up till all hoars, and there were over 1000 minor cases of sickness reported at the ambulance. At Takapau in 1914. despite the exceptionally severe weather, only a few dozen "reported 6ick." and the general health of the mem. was remarkabrv good. Now for a solution of this seeming paradox! At the Oringi canteen there was no "Fluenrol," but plenty of other preparations. At Takapau the position was reversed. The canteen contractorpinned their faith solely to "Flueazol." of which over two gross in the aggregate was purchased by the troops. In many instances one bottle would so the rounds of a tent and be the means of checking more than one incipient sore throat or feverish, attack. Comment is needless! *
