Owing to an acute shortage of materials, all members of the armed forces unit at Harvard are urged to return to the dispensaries every empty bottle or jar given them by army and navy doctors. These materials are needed to cope with the increased demands winter brings.

Harvard is in a particularly dangerous position because the masses of men in training, coming and going through the College from warmer climates, are especially susceptible victims to grippe, pneumonia, sore throate, and influenza.

It is essential for all men at Harvard who have medicine bottles and salve jars to return them immediately to the dispensaries.
