CASE OF TUMOUR OF THE BRAIN

Abstract

condition would have become mueh improved; for it is a notorous fact that ill fed, half starved recuits rapidly improve in condition and dtamina by regular duty, a substantial mess, and habits of cleanlines. The reduction in the army at present going on will doubtless free the ranks of numbers who, except from the emergency of the war, could never have gained admission. The Guards are now sending their undersized men back to their homes; and the Act for limited enlistment (for two years) causes a further reduction. It has often been the fashion to sneer at and ridicule the physical appearance of a manfacturing population like that of the West Riding; but, after seeing some of the metropolitan and southern regiments of militia, I will undertake to show as fine a body of soldiers in the Yorkshire regiments as any in the kingdom, and in a state of discipline surpassed by none. In my next paper, I propose to speak of the prevalent dieases of militiamen, as furnished by the rethrns from my own regiment; and on other matters.
