worse than the sergeants,
And the capt'n's the worst of all.
Chorus--
I can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up, etc.
MESS CALL:
Soup-y, soup-y soup,
Without a single bean.
Pork-y, pork-y, pork,
Without a streak of lean;
Coffee, Coffee, Coffee,
Without any cream!
(Or, the weakest ever seen!)
SICK CALL:
Come and get your quinine, come and get your pills,
Oh! come and get your quinine, come and get your pills.
STABLE CALL:
Come all who are able and go to the stable,
And water your horses and give 'em some corn;
For if you don't do it, the Col'nel will know it,
And then you will rue it, sure as you're born.
TAPS:

Fades the light; Love, good night.
And afar When the day
Goeth day, Must thou go
Cometh night; And the night
And a star Day is done
Leadeth all, Leave me so?
Speedeth all Fare thee well;
To their rest. Night is on.
ANOTHER VERSION.
When your last
Day is past,
From afar
Some bright star
O'er your grave
Watch will keep,
While you sleep
With the brave.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS
The following hints are only intended as
a reminder to assist you when in doubt.
TO STOP BLEEDING.--Place a pad of clean
cloth on the wound and bandage firmly.
Raise the part affected. If raising the limbs
or applying the pad does not control the
bleeding, compress with your two thumbs
over bone and as near the wound as
possible. Give no stimulants as long as
bleeding remains uncontrolled.
BURNS AND SCALDS.--Exclude the part
from the air at once, by dusting flour on it
and covering with cotton wool. If there
is a blister do NOT pick it for 24 hours.
Soothing applications are Carron Oil,
Salad Oil, Vaseline, Lard, etc. If there is
severe shock, give it immediate attention,
even before attending to the burn or scald.
FRACTURES.--The two main classes of
fractures are simple and compound and the
first aid treatment you give is to prevent
the simple fracture from becoming the more
serious compound fracture, which has a
wound caused by the jagged end of the
broken bone.
Attend to the patient on the spot, and fix
the injured limb, at once, by splints and
bandages. Use great gentleness.
