TEUTONS RECOGNIZE RUSSIAN READINESS A wireless despatch from Berne to London quotes the war correspondent of the Vienna Zeit on die eastern front as referring to improvement in the Russian artillery as follows: "It must be recognized that the advant- ages enjoyed by our armies owing to the Russian shortage of ammunition are disappearing." There are men who would not kick an enemy when he was ring to jump on him with both feet. =Its".----=zumelsrme,=a 'esS,AA1 ag FOR HEADACHES, BILIOUSNESS CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION Nearly all our minor ailments, and many of the serious ones too, are traceable to some disorder of the stomach, liver, and bowels.

The whirlpool bath is entirely a war invention, from which excellent results in cases of stiff joints have been obtained in France, As I saw it at some of the military hospitals vis- ited, it consists of a small oblong bath, filled with water which is kept in continuous movement by a minia- ture propeller revealed at a very high speed by means of an electric motor. A stiff arm or leg, hand or foot, placed in the bath and kept there for some time is much improv- ed by the stimulus of the running water. Marvelous examples of bone car- pentry are to be seen, such as the transference of a large piece of bone from the leg to fill a gap in the arm bone or jaw. Trench -foot is being more or less saccessfully treated by massage, oper- ation, and other methods. I saw a soldier victim of this affection walk- ing with a little difficulty, but very well pleased with himself; it was the first time he had put on boots for nine months. Cures by Exercise. All sorts of joint injuries go to Hammersmith Hospital, and there, as well as at other hospitals, is to be seen a collection of ingenious exer- cises for restoring mobility. When the surgeon has clone all that he can the patient goes to the masseurs and the exercises. If his wrist is stiff he twists a bar with graduated resist- ance. If he cannot fully close his hand he grasps a thick bar and turns it, passing on to thinner and tinner bars as the hand improves; the pa- th:J.1e with a stiff knee is Pat to exer- clee on a stationary bicycle; others, aceertling to the nature and situation of 4ee defect, practise rowing, climb- ing ladders, pulling on weighted ropes and 'with these curative exercises is combined raassage, with electric treat- ment,. and other remedies.

THE PRINCIPAL LESSON . OF THE PRESENT WAR.' A despatch from Paris says: Asked what was the principal lesson learned in this war, General Marchand re- plied: "Formerly an army which oc- cupied the heights was supposed to have the advantage. We have learn- ed from the experience of trench war that the force down below has the tipper hand, since it can shell the en- erny out of his trenches above, while the opposing artillery can with diffi- culty, bombard trenches below it."
