section. The object of this system is to enable ships which

do not carry a doctor to send code messages to other ships
or coast stations asking for medical advice or assistance.
The system is quite complete in itself, and is so arranged
that, when all the editions of the code are in operation, it
will enable communications regarding medical matters to
be made between ships of different nationalities, thus avoiding
difficulties of language.

The code may be purchased at Mercantile Marine Offices
in the Dominion, after about 31st October, 1932. Intending
purchasers should make early application to the Marine
Department.
