Issued By The United Steps Govern-
ment As Absolute Remedy
Mr. E. A. Hammond who resides in
South Bend, Indiana, hastens to send a
formula of a remedy for pneumonia which
has just been sent out by the Surgeon
General of the Uniced States and which
several U. S. medical men say is an abso-
lute cure. Here it is:
"Saturate a ball of cotton as large as a
one inch marble with Spirits of Alcohol
add three drops of Chloroform to each
ball of cotton. Place it between the
Patient's teeth, let patient Inhale the
fuines for fiteen minutes then rest fifteen
minutes or longer if needed And then
inhale again fifteen minutes and repeat
the operation as directed twenty-four
times.
The result will be that the lungs will ex-
pand to their normal condition, in twenty
four hours the patient is out of danger.
Change cotton often. It ought to be
changed twice in fifteen rninutes,"
Mr. Hammond says "We note with
sorrow that Wingham, too, is giving of itr
brightest and best young live a tq the
ravages of this awful pneumonia epidemic.'
Although living in other parts, Mr .
Hammond, like many others, thinks al-
ways of the welfare of the people in the
old home town.

INTERESTING HISTORY
From The Diary of The Late Robert ;
Greenaway
The death of Robert Greenaway an old
settler of Bluevale occurred on Oct. 23rd,
Mr. Greenaway is one who has seen both
sides of life of this large world, more than
the fates usually granted to any of us.
Robert Greenaway was an Ulster man,
born near the little city of Armagh, Ire
land, a day's drive from Belfast, eighty-
eight years ago He lived with his par-
ents, Francis and Elizabeth Greenaway,
until 1851; sailing in that year on the
"Alice and Ann" for Canada. He landed
in Quebec and immediately took boat for •
Hamilton, came by rail thence to London
and made remainder of journey, Lerldell
to Goderich by stage -coach over roads of
corduroy and mud. After spending the
winter in Goderich he went to Wellesley,
Prl
in the spring of .'52, remaining there for a season and thmoving
on to Mary-
, boro where he lived until '54, Ir Pint
year he moved to Gorrie taking up land
in Howick. Between '52 and '54 he trav-
elled through a considerable part of New
York St ate.
I-je went in the fall of '54 te Tocurosey
and King townships near Toronto. While
he was here a call was made for volunteers
for the Russian war in '55. Actuated by
a wandering mind as well as by a desire
to serve under the flag, he volunteered,
joining the 100th Battalion of Canadian
Regulars. As a member of this Regiment
he set sail in the "Greenock" from Quebec
landing in Fleetwood in October then
proceeded to Chatham where they re -
mined in lagrraeles Pee the winter. The
weather was unusually cold and snow
fells very excessive which rendered it very
uncomfortable for the soldiers, as they
were provided with no under clothes and
wore unlined trousers. During drill they
used to stack their. arms and run around
like boys playing fox and goose The
Chatham barracks was a large slate roof
brick building having accommodation for
about 10,000 soldiers. In the Spring of
'56 he joined what was known as the De-
pot Battalion stationed at Canterbury
The soldiers were each required in turn to
do orderly duty, a position that made a
man half cook and helf washwoman. The
orderly was given oply half an hour to
wash the dishes glloted to him, and a por-
tion of the floor to weep, and appear in
drill. One very hot day while Mr,
Greenaway was orderly he hurried with
lis work ?Pa appeared in drill just in the
nide of time very much flushed in the face,
the Sergeant went on his rounds up and
down and inspecting the men, "Green-
away has been drinking" he reported to
the captain, who shouted "Greenaway two
paces to the rear,march." "I stepped"says
that gentlemen himself and the captain
came up. "You have been drinking Green-
away and I said nothing stronger than
soap.'' t a aeediess to say that this
ceiticel examination resulted in the re-
prireandine of the sergeant. At Canter-
burY he serypd under colonel Armstrong
and Adjutant Ward. Among the soldiers
in training there at that time were the
Cape Mounted rifles of Cape Colony.
They were drilled both on horse and foot
were 1,000 strong. Their colors were red
and blue. The 17th lancers were 100
strong, blue with whitkefacings 7th & 8th
Black horse first and second kings own red
coats mounted on bay horses.
The services of all available soldiers
being needed in India the depot Battalion
was despatched there early in '57. Setting
sail from Grarisend in a troop ship, "The
Conflict," the voyage was a long one last-
ing six months and five days and no land
was sighted after leaving England until
they entered the Gulf of Mana, and Palk
Strait Military manoeuvres were executed
on top deck. They landed at Calcutta
and proceeded at once inland to Benares
a distance of 600 miles. Their method of
locomotion was slow they being drawn ori
night trips in heayy ail wood wagons by
native oien, the days- being too hot for
man or beast to appear in the sun, much
less to do any work. • The country they
passed through was agricultural, wheat
being the principal product, the houses
were very small and built of mud cover-
ed with ' elephant grass. All night long
as they journeyed they could hear the
Indian farmers singing to themselves as
they worked their particular occupation
at that. time being irrigation of the wheat
field. In each field several large wells
were dug. The 'collies had in each of
these an elevator made of crocks operated
