He then got up and galloped towards the Boers,killing three of them, after which he rode back to us and lay down, and he had to be carried to the ambulance.

In that Chitral cam- paigh he worked harder than anyone else. He had, Mr. Thompson nar- trates, no tent, only a waterproof sheet, like the rest of the men, and shared with them equally all the exposure and i fatigue of the march. ‘His energy was ‘ inexhaustable, and he allowed no de- tail to escape him, for though he made the men work he was careful of their comfort in many ways. He saw that they had fresh instead of tinned meat whenever it was possible to obtain it, and always tried to arrange for it to be cooked at the time when it was to be eaten, so that -hey might have it hot with all its juice. ‘Moltke’ re- marks Mr. Thompson, ‘said that the grum— first part of an army to wear is its feet, | but itisa question whether its stomach is not quite as vulnerable.” rene eee nt raat amen ea (reris caused by Piles Is Quickly Ended when Dr. A.
