MILITARY CAMPS

TAKAPAU AND ORINGI COMPARED

Officers and men attending camps in wet weather have vivid recollections-oi sore throats and feverish chills inseparably connected with damp feet and sudden changes of tempera-lure. At the Uringi camp in 1913 the medical staff were kept busy up till all hours, mud. there were over 1000 minor cases of sickness reported at the ambulance. At Tafcapau in .19U, despite the exceptionally severe weather, only a few dozen "reported sick," and the general health of the men was remarkabl- good. Now for a solution of this seeming paradox! At the Oringi canteen there was no "Fluenzol," but plenty of other preparations. At Takapan the position wa6 reversed. The c&nteen contractors pinned their faith solely to "Fluentol," of which over two gross in the aggregate, was purchased by the troops. In many Instances one bottle would go the rounds of a tent and be the means of checking taore than one incipient 6ore throat or feverish attack. Comment is needless! •
