Hospital Ships for the Navy.
.‘.ledical men are exercised about a
{c.iture of modern naval warfare that
has received little attention even from
naval oflicers. A battleship of the
present day is without any possible
provision for the proper care of the
wounded. The hospital accommoda-
tions'even for the ordinary sickness on
acruise are very restricted and how
the surgeons are to carry on their min-
istrations in battle is something con-
cerning which they are all very much
ats'ea.
It-is evident that the‘surgeon’s work
will'be much more hazardous than it
was behind the old wooden walls, where
he could make a hospital between decks
and have the wounded brought to him,
and the necessary attention to their'in-
juries will be correspondingly difficult.
Experience is the only teacher in
such matters and- there has been no
experience thus far, that of the Chinese
and Japanese navies affording little
guidance, and in the event of a war
with. Spain our naval surgeons will
have much to learn and to teach.
. It is agreed, in any event. that the
Noundedufter a battle cannot be kept
in the battleship, with its numerous
watertight compartments and its com-
plicated mechanism. They will have
to be transferred to a hospital as quick-
ly as possible, and this exigency has
Greedy evolved a new institution, the
ambulance Ship, which will be a neces-
sary accompaniment to every ship.
’ This idea, first suggested by the late
Surgeon General of the Navy, Dr.
TryOn, and developed by his successor,
Dr..Van Reypen, has taken shape at
Hampton Roads, where the steamer
Creole. purchased from the Cromwell
Line, has been converted into 'a float-
ing hospital to accompany the North
Atlantic Squadron. To this immediate-
ly after an action, the wounded are to '
be, conveyed 0n barges, which will cor-
respond with the field ambulance, as i
the. steamer itself will correspond to an
actual hospital, This is a new and im-
portant addition to the preparations
for warfare and the experiment is a
most interesting one.

In the spring the young man's fancy

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition Of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. TOO frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
‘ WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fect's following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up:
many times during the night‘to 'uriu-;
ate. The mild and the eXtraor-dinaryj
effect of SwampRoot is soon realized.
It stands the highest- for its wonderful2
cures of the most distressing cases. If:
yOu need a medicine you should have-
] the best.~ Sold by druggists, price fifty:
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt of three two-
cent stamps, to cover‘ Cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE— GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamr-on, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.
