The remedy is Bisurated Magueris, a harmless yet effective compound which since its incep- tion, has received the written endorsement of thousands of grateful people in all parts of the world as well as the recommendation of doctors, nurses and hospitals. Hisurated Kangnesia staps stomach pain instantly by remaring its cause, it is quite inexpensive, and either tablet or powder form can be obtained from any chemist.

It is well known that, during the great French wars, the health of the Navy was maintained by the frequent issue of fresh provisions, and that Nelson was especi ally zealous in this respect..
Here we have the actual figures of the number of oxen bought, of how much beef they yielded, of the number of pounds of onions and other vegetables, and of the oranges and fenions. There are probably nore papers on this subject here than on any other.
Returns from the agent victualler afloat show that, between February 13th, 1501, and April rd, 1805, the disbursements on fresh provisions were £47,000, which, averages £100 a day. Included in them' were about a million pounds of fresh beef, nearly 200,000 gallons of wine, about.j 10,000 gallons of brandy, with onions, oranges, and lemons in proportion. As the beef cost about 4d. a pound, and the wine 13d gallon, and as the comple ments of the ships with the flag averaged about 6,000, this shows that the ship's companies saw little of the traditional salt horse and rum. On the contrary, the expenditure for fresh provisions, as far as can be thus determined, was about d. n head a day. Whenever any article of food was complained of, it was im- mediately surveyed and almost invari ably condemned.

The scurvy was confined to a brief outbreak in the winter of 1504-3, and immediately dis appeared when the regular issue of fresh provisions could be resumed. The ulcers, Which were chiefly on the legs and feet. and of a contagious nature, were most troublesome, and gave the greatest nun- ber of cases. Even so, however, ten cases in a single ship were regarded as a large number.
During the whole period, the highest number of cases in the whole Fleet was 268, and the average was below 200, while deaths on board ship were about I per cent. per annum. Deaths in the hospitals were more numerous, but out of a daily average of rather over 100 cases, distributed between Gibraltar and Malta,, they do not seem to have amount- ed, in all, to more than about 100 in the whole period. Considering what the state of naval hygiene had been within the memory of the older officers, it is not remarkable that the Physician to the Fleet should have, referred, to "the triumphant state of health which this Fleet tas enjoyed."

Suck a collection of papers may have no great attraction for the "private col lector, but it will be invaluable to the historian. It may be hoped, therefore, that it will find a resting place in some publie library, in England, where the document will be readily available to students and others interested in naval affairs.
