"A dyspeptic soldier is a liabi- lity. A dyspeptic civilian, living under a careful regime may well become an asset.
"The Army still marches on its stomach, even though it tra- vels in mechanised vehicles, and the dyspeptic passenger should be discouraged from taking part in the journey."

Mr. Reginald I. Payne, a Lon- don surgeon, and Dr. C.

became difficult.
There was, say the Investiga. tors, much criticism that the Army cooking was bad, but the criticism came from men with abnormal digestions.
Fatty food, which was appre clated by healthy men, appeared to the dyspepties to be "gréasy."
Men who served in the last war said that the food was better this would be a signal to discontinue time, but there was a constantly the suit; but East realised that his reiterated complaint of good food partner might be unable to spare spoilt.
