THE WINGHAM TIMES
At Home and Abroad ---To Every Soldier a Full Sixty -cent Box of Dr.
Chase's Ointment Free ---Greatly Appreciated by the Boys.
Realizing that ointment is one of the prime necessities to the sol-
dier, both in training and at the front, it was early decided to supply
all Canadian recruits free of charge.
That this offer was appreciated by the military authorities is best
evidenced by some of the replies received from Headquarters, as well
as from individual camps.
Brigadier -Gen. Sir Sam Hughes wrote: --
"This is indeed a most useful and accept-
able donation, and for which please accept
my most sincere thanks."
Lieut. -Col. Murphy, in charge of Val-
cartier Camp, wrote :--"I would be very
glad to receive donation of Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment, and feel sure it would be acceptable."
One Major reports :—"The Ointment ar-
rived on the day the Battery completed 24
miles route march on foot, and I can assure
you the Ointment was very beneficial, and
much appreciated by those with sore feet"
For the 31st Regiment, Owen Sound,
Q.M. Sergt. Miller writes :—"I have been
directed by Col. Chisholm to tender to you
our hearty thanks for your splendid gift of
Dr. Chase's Ointment to the members of the
Overseas Contingent. I can assure you it
was appreciated by the men, and if the quan-
tity had been doubled we would have had
a hard time to save a box. The men Swear
by it."
From Niagara Camp Q.M. Sergi 0. M.
Stevenson writes for the 37th Battalion :—
"The Ointment has been distributed among
the boys of our company, and is highly ap-
preciated by them. I assure you that they
will find it very useful both here and at the
front." -
Further distributions of Dr. Chase's Ointment will be made to the
recruits assembling for training at the various towns and cities
throughout the country. Officers in charge are requested to advise us
how many boxes they can use, allowing one for each man. In a score of
ways this Ointment is useful to the soldier, and it is our desire that
every man shall be supplied free of charge. Address Edmanson, Bates
