EVER FRESH SOLDIERS' BATHS.
The 'Lancet' describes how by purifying thousands of gallons of soapy water daily a continuous supply of clean water was obtained for soldiers' baths in the field.
'The Water used was passed into a tank and there had slaked lime thoroughly mixed with it by means of a windmill mixer, constructed-from a couple of old bicycle wheels and a hop-pole.
