'You won't find things with me, my good sir, he went on, with a clear mild gaze into my face, 'as they are with the horse-dealers; confound their tricks!

The horses were led in; I did not care for them.
For yourself you need, or may need, in addition, a more elaborate lot: Laxative, quinine, phenacetin, bismuth and soda, bromide of ammonium, morphia, camphor-ice, and aspirin. A clinical thermometer for whites and one for blacks should be included. A tin of malted milk is not a bad thing to take as an emergency ration after fever. By this time your tin box is fairly well provided.
Some of these men I found, with the assistance of a friendly and sympathetic Cuban, and had them carried on litters to the operating-tents. All of the wounded who came back from the front that night ought to have had hot tea or coffee, and some such easily digested food as malted milk, as most of them had eaten nothing since the early morning and were worn out with pain and fatigue.
Raising herself to her tiptoes she noted with eminent satisfaction that the three big cups on the other side of the desk had all been drained to their dregs.

That's our bi-troop sign. We have two troops; always hang together. A troop's one bunch in scouting. That kid thought the Maltese Cross meant that the cup was to drink malted milk out of. He's a three-ring circus, that kid." "It was a stunt to send that to make that light, wasn't it?" Peter asked. "Well, I'll say it was," said Scoutmaster Ned, giving the cup another admiring rub.
Well, actually I almost cherished the deceitful plot of getting up so early that I should be already dressed before Celia would appear, and then I could tell her that I had been so hungry that I had eaten my breakfast alone. It would have been true too, because I intended to nibble my malted milk tablets behind a magazine.
At the end of thirty days he broke his fast on a glass of malted milk.

However, he did not lose strength, being able to do as much work and lift as heavy weights at the end of the fast as at the beginning.
