HINTS TO OFFICERS. In a special alcohol number of The Practitioner, the leading monthly medical journal in Great Britain, there appears a reprint of flints to Officers selected for scrvico in the tropics. Ihese are as follows : " Brandy ought never to be touched unless ordered medicinally by «a physician. If a man has been a total abstainer the advice given to him is—HKM AIN SO. If a man has been a temperate drinker, let him remain such, and only lie more strict than ever in his temperance. If a man has been a free liver, it is absolutely essential that lie should change his habits without delay, or the climate will terribly avenge itself on him for, his bravado and folly. "Of spirits, brandy, gin, rum and absinthe should be regarded as poisonous. Old Scotch and Irish whisky m great moderation well diluted, and never taken on an empty stomach, is perhaps the least deleterious of spirituous liquors and the slowest poison. Coffee, tea and cocoa are excellent restoratives for the fatigued body or wearied brain, and are far better in the performance of hard work than alcohol." —A.dvt 13.
'Tis great fun watching "No-Rubbing Laundry Help" ejecting dirt from soiled lihen.
