[can] be had, every Man at an easy lay, may procure
Spirits Nitre, or even Cramberries[sic] eaten raw, sufficient
to Acidulate his common Drink, and make a sort of arti-
ficial Cyder[sic], which will be found very servicable.

dies in Battle, lies in the Bed of Honour[sic]: But as the Fool
dies, so dies he that sits in the Camp and dies thro[ugh] bad
regimen, and neglects, or disregards the only Means of
his Preservation.
If some such Method, as I have hinted at, were prescrib-
ed by Physicians, commanded by the Officers, and heartily
observed and practiced by the common Soldiers, some
Lives might be saved, and many made more able and ef-
fective to answer the purposes they are implyed[sic] about.
