MILITARY CAMPS
XAKAPAU AND OXIINGI COMPARED,
Officers and men attending camps iu wet weather have vivid recollections ot sore throats and feverish chilis inseparably connected' with damp feet and sudden Aanges of temperature. At the Oringi camp in 1913 the medical staff were kept busy up till all hours; and there were over 1000 minor cases ot sickness reported, at the ambulance. At Takapau in 1914, despite tho excepnonallv sever© weather, only a few doxen ‘'reported eick,” and the general health of the men was remarkablv good. * for a solution of this seeming parados! At tho Oringi canteen there was no “Fluenzol,” but plenty of Other preparations. At Takapau the position was reversed. Tho canteen contractors pinned their faith solely to '!< luenzol, of which over two gross in tho aggregate was purchased by the troops. In many instances one bottle would go the rounds of a tent and be the means of checking ■more than one incipient sore ttiroat or feverish attack. Q Comment is needless.
