Send Him The Military Hand-Book.
The great want of a MILITARY HAND-BOOK of General and Special
Information on all matters connected with a Soldier’s Life and
Experience, has induced the publishers of the Dime Publications to
have prepared, by competent hands, a work which will fully answer the
requirements of the market. They have, therefore, to announce
THE
MILITARY HAND-BOOK,
AND
SOLDIERS’ MANUAL OF INFORMATION.
Embracing Pay-Lists of Officers and Men--Rations--
Incidents of Camp-Life--Hints on Health and
Comfort--How to Prepare Good Food from
Poor Rations--Recipes--Wounds, and
How to Care for Them--All about
Weapons of War, etc.; also
Official Articles of War,
AND A COMPLETE
DICTIONARY OF MILITARY TERMS.
☞ This admirable volume is published in large 12mo., with a
beautifully Engraved and Colored Cover, and can be had of all News
Dealers at the low sum of TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
