APPOINTMENTS. (See A. II. !::.'>. i:',95.) 1. Appointments of assistant surgeons are made by the President, after the applicant has passed a successful examina- tion before a Medical Examining Board and has been recom- mended by the Surgeon General. Permission to appear before the board is obtained by letter to the Secretary of War, which must be in the handwriting of the applicant, giving the date and place of his birth and the place and State of which he is a permanent resident, and inclosing certificates based on per- sonal acquaintance from at least two reputable persons as to his citizenship, character, and habits. The candidate must be a citizen of the United States, between twenty-two and twenty- nine years of age, of sound health and good character, and a graduate of some regular medical college, in evidence of which his diploma will be submitted to the board. The scope of the examination will include the morals, habits, physical and men- tal qualifications of the candidate, and his general aptitude for service ; and the board will report unfavorably should it have a reasonable doubt in any of these particulars. 2. The physical examination must be thorough, and each candidate will be required to certify that he labors under no mental or physical infirmity or disability which can interfere ivith the efficient discharge of any duty which may be required. Errors of refraction, when not excessive, and not accompanied by ocular disease, and when correctible by appropriate glasses, are not causes for rejection. 3. The mental examinations are conducted by both written and oral questions, upon (a) Elementary branches of a common school education, in- cluding arithmetic, the history and geography of the United (7) 8 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. States, physics, general literature, and ancient and modern history. Candidates claiming special knowledge of the higher mathematics, ancient or modern languages, drawing, analyti- cal chemistry or branches of natural science, will be examined in these subjects as accomplishments, and will receive due credit therefor according to their proficiency. (fr) Professional branches, including anatomy, physiology, chemistry, hygiene, pathology and bacteriology, therapeutics and materia medica, surgery, practice of medicine, obstetrics, and the diseases of women and children. (c) Examinations in clinical medicine and surgery will be conducted at the bedside ; operations and demonstrations on the cadaver will also be required. (d) Hospital training and practical experience in the practice of medicine, surgery, and obstetrics are essential to candidates seeking admission to the Medical Corps of the Army, who will be expected to present evidence that they have had at least one year's hospital experience, or the equivalent of this in practice. 4. To save unnecessary expense to candidates, those who so desire may have a preliminary physical examination and a mental examination in the elementary branches of a common school education by a medical officer stationed most conveni- ently for this purpose, who will act under instructions from the Medical Examining Board. 5. The merits of the candidates in each of the several branches, and also their relative merit as evinced by the results obtained from the entire examination, will be reported by the board, and in accordance with this report approved candidates will be appointed to existing vacancies, or to such as may occur within two years thereafter. A candidate failing in one examination may be allowed a second after one year, but not a third. ARMY MEDICAL SCHOOL. 6. The Army Medical School at Washington, D. C. , is gov- erned by special regulations, and will have the following organization : (1) The faculty, which will consist of four or more professors selected from the senior officers of the Medical Department MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 9 stationed in or near the city of Washington, and such associate professors as may be required. The senior officer will be president, and the junior, secretary of the faculty. (2) The student officers, who will be those medical officers who have been appointed since the last preceding term of the school, and such others as may be authorized to attend. (A. R. 468.) 7. The course of instruction will be for four months, and will be given annually at the Army Medical Museum, in Wash- ington, D. C. , commencing on the first Monday of November. It will include lectures on and practical instruction in (a) The duties of medical officers in war and peace. (b) Military surgery, the care of the wounded in time of war, and hospital administration. (c) Military hygiene. (d) Military medicine. (e) Microscopy, sanitary and clinical ; pathological histol- ogy, bacteriology, and urinology. (/) Hospital corps drill, and first aid to wounded. 8. By permission of the Surgeon General, medical officers of the Army who desire to avail themselves of the course of instruction, and who are stationed in or near the city of Washington, or who have a leave of absence which enables them to attend the course, may be admitted as pupils. EXAMINATIONS. 9. At the termination of the course of instruction the stu- dent officers will be examined by the several professors, and their relative proficiency in each branch will be reported by the president of the faculty to the Secretary of War, through the Surgeon General. REGULATIONS. 10. (a) The president of the faculty will be responsible for the discipline of the school. (b) The junior professor will act as secretary, and will be responsible for all property pertaining to the school. (c) A faculty meeting will be held in the office of the sec- retary on the first Monday of each month from October to 10 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. March, inclusive, and whenever called by the president of the faculty or the Surgeon General. (d) Resolutions adopted by the faculty relating to the course of instruction, the purchase of books and instruments, etc. , will be submitted to the Surgeon General for his approval. (e) The president of the faculty will submit to the Surgeon General on or before the first day of April of each year, a detailed report of the condition of the Army Medical School, including an account of the instruction given and the profi- ciency of the several student officers, as shown by an examina- tion made by each professor at the termination of his course. (/) The hours of instruction will be from 9 to 12 a. m., and from 1 to 4 p. m., daily, during the months of November, December, January, and February, inclusive, with the excep- tion of Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, and the week commencing December 25. (g) Student officers will be required to be present during the hours designated unless specially excused by the president of the faculty or by orders from the War Department. (h) When necessarily absent on account of sickness or other emergency, student officers will, as soon as practicable, send a written statement to the secretary of the faculty explaining the reason for such absence. (i) The laboratories and library of the Army Medical School will be open for the use of student officers during the hours of instruction designated. (j) Student officers will be held strictly accountable for all instruments and apparatus issued to them for their personal use during the course of instruction, and for any loss or injury to books or apparatus belonging to the Army Medical School, when such loss or injury is due to carelessness or neglect. (k) Student officers in the Army Medical School, during the hours of instruction, will wear the undress uniform of the grade to which they belong, except when engaged in labora- tory work, when a black cambric laboratory gown may be worn. ASSIGNMENT OF MEDICAL OFFICERS. (See A. R. 738.) 11. The number of medical officers assigned to duty at a post will, when practicable, be as follows : For a post having as MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 11 its garrison a full regiment, three ; for a post having as its gar- rison four companies and regimental headquarters, two ; for a post having as its garrison less than four companies, one. 12. The tour of duty for medical officers below the rank of major, at the following stations, will hereafter be two years, which time will be considered as equivalent to a full tour of duty (four years) in the military department in which the several stations are located : Alcatraz Island, California ; Fort Brown, Texas ; Fort Canby, Washington ; Columbus Barracks, Ohio ; Fort Columbus, New York ; Fort DuChesne, Utah ; Eagle Pass, Texas ; Fort Hamilton, New York ; Fort Mason, California ; Fort Mclntosh, Texas ; Fort Myer, Virginia ; Fort Porter, New York ; Fort Ringgold, Texas ; San Carlos, Arizona ; Fort Thomas Kentucky ; Fort Trumbull, Connecticut ; Fort Wadsworth, New York; Fort Warren, Massachusetts; Washington Barracks, D. C. , Washington, D. C. ; Fort Wayne, Michigan. This must not be considered an absolute rule, as the interests of the service may frequently call for a change of station within the department or to another department before the regular tour of duty has expired, and circumstances may sometimes make it advisable to extend the tour of duty of a medical officer beyond the time specified. 13. The Surgeon General will recommend the assignment for duty, as attending surgeons in the principal medical cen- ters of the United States, of medical officers who have not yet passed their examinations for promotion to a majority, and, so far as may be practicable, in the order of their seniority. These details will be made for one year only, in order that as many medical officers as possible may be enabled to avail them- selves of the opportunities thus offered for making themselves familiar with the practice of the leading physicians and sur- geons in this country, and of attending medical lectures, meet- ings of medical societies, etc. At the end of this tour of duty medical officers are required to make a detailed report to the Surgeon General, showing how much of their time has been occupied by their official duties, and to what extent they have availed themselves of the advantages offered for professional advancement. 12 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 14. Medical officers assigned to duty as attending surgeons will select an office hour between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. , and will remain in their offices during this hour, unless called away by an urgent professional engagement. They will inform all officers on duty, and all retired officers living in the city, of their residence address, of their office hour, and of any changes made in the same ; also, of any leave of absence which may be granted them, and of the address of the physician who will attend to their duties while they are absent. They will be careful not to allow anything to interfere with the proper performance of their duties as attending surgeon and examiner of recruits. EXAMINATIONS FOR PROMOTION. 1 5. Examinations for promotion will be made under the fol- lowing heads: (1) Physical condition ; (2) character and pro- fessional efficiency. (a) When the board finds an officer physically incapacitated for service, it will conclude the examination by finding and reporting the cause which, in its judgment, has produced his disability, and whether such disability was contracted in the line of duty. For the purpose of this inquiry the proceedings of the board will conform to those of a retiring board. (b) When the board finds an officer physically capable, the examination will proceed under the second head. Any evi- dence submitted as to character will be carefully considered, and such proceedings taken as, in the opinion of the board, the case requires ; provided, that an adverse finding shall not be entered until the officer shall have been fully heard in his own behalf. (c) The professional examination of officers not found phys- ically disqualified will be proceeded with by written questions, and answers, and will include the following topics : EXAMINATIONS OF LIEUTENANTS. (1) First aid and transpor- tation of wounded ; (2) hospital and hospital corps adminis- tration; (3) Army Regulations, so far as they relate to the Medical Department or to the medical officer as an officer of the Army ; (4) general and military hygiene ; (5) recent prog- ress in medicine and surgery ; (6) subjects in which the officer may have been conditioned at his examination for appointment. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 13 EXAMINATION OF CAPTAINS. ( 1 ) Army Regulations, so far as they relate to the Medical Department or to the medical officer as an officer of the Army; (2) general and military hygiene; (3) clinical medicine, and recent progress in etiology, pathology, and therapeutics ; (4) surgery and gynecology, including new operative procedures. (d) The examinations will be practical in character, and the board will report its recommendation of an officer for pro- motion in the following form : ' ' We find that has the physical, moral, and professional qualifications to perform efficiently all the duties of the grade to which he will next be eligible, and recommend him for promotion thereto. " (e) The questions and answers of the written examination will be transmit h-d with the proceedings of the board. Each record must be signed by every member and by the recorder, iind must show the concurrence or nonconcurrence of each member in the opinion of the board. Whenever the board fails to recommend a candidate for promotion, the record will state the cause of such failure. The proceedings will be forwarded to the Surgeon General for the final action of the Secretary cf War. CHIEF SURGEONS. (S? A. B. 196, 1465.) 16. Chief surgeons and other medical officers, when ordered to make an inspection of a post, will examine the members of the hospital corps and company bearers as to their efficiency in the ambulance and litter bearers' drill, and the methods of rendering first aid to the wounded. 17. Chief surgeons will keep the following record books: Letters received, letters sent, indorsements, and orders. They will also keep and turn over to their successors complete files of circulars, requisitions, records of medical officers, returns of the hospital corps, and reports received. HOSPITAL CORPS. (See A. R. 1396-1411.) 18. The examination for the positions of acting hospital steward and hospital steward will embrace the following sub- jects: (1) Arithmetic; (2) materia medica ; (3) pharmacy; (4) 14 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. care of sick and ward management; (5) minor surgery and first aid ; (6) elementary hygiene. Proficiency in penmanship and orthography will be estimated from the papers submitted. 19. The replies, certified to by the board as having been made without recourse to books, memoranda, or other sources of assistance, together with the report of the board, will be for- warded directly to the Surgeon General, in whose office they will be examined and marked. The examination for acting hospital steward and hospital steward will embrace the same subjects, but the questions for candidates for the lower grade will be less difficult and comprehensive. 20. The local board will investigate and report upon the fol- lowing: (1) Physical condition ; (2) character and habits, espe- cially as to the use of stimulants and narcotics ; (3) discipline and control of men ; (4) knowledge of regulations ; (5) nursing; (6) dispensary work ; (7) clerical work ; (8) principles of cook- ing and mess management ; (9) hospital corps drill; (10) minor surgery and first aid, including extraction of teeth. 21. Application for the positions of hospital steward and acting hospital steward must be accompanied by an affidavit that the applicant is not married, and should be forwarded through military channels. 22. The duties of hospital stewards and acting hospital stewards are, under the direction of the surgeon, to look after and distribute hospital stores and supplies ; to care for hospital property ; to compound and administer medicines ; to supervise the preparation and serving of food ; to maintain discipline in hospitals and watch over their general police ; to prepare the required reports and returns ; to supervise the duties of the members of the hospital corps in hospital and in the field, and to perform such other duties connected with their positions as may, by proper authority, be required of them. 23. A reexamination before first reenlistment as hospital steward may not be required if the surgeon of the post and chief surgeon state that the steward has performed his duties efficiently, but will be held before second reenlistment. No subsequent reexaminations will ordinarily be required. / OF THE CTTNIVEHSITYJ ^ MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 15 24. Medical officers will not make enlistments or reenlist- ments for the hospital corps without obtaining special author- ity, in each case, from the Surgeon General. 25. Those applicants who have graduated in pharmacy, or who have been licensed by State boards of pharmacy, should submit proof thereof, by diploma or otherwise. Trained nurses, or those who have served as such in civil hospitals, should present certificates of their training or service. 26. Slight physical defects in applicants, which, under existing orders, would disqualify for the line, but would not interfere with the full performance of the duties of a sanitary soldier in garrison or in the field, may be waived, provided authority therefor has been obtained from the Surgeon Gen- eral. Note should be made on the enlistment paper of any special knowledge professed by applicants, as of cooking, gardening, or of a trade or other useful occupation. 27. In stating " character of the soldier, in detail," on the descriptive list of a member of the hospital corps transferred, in addition to his general character as usually given, his habits as to sobriety and his attention to duty will be noted, adding, in case of a hospital .steward or acting hospital steward his ability to command men, and in case of a private his special qualifications as nurse, cook, etc. In noting physical condition on descriptive list, any important defects will be mentioned. In each case of transfer from a company of instruction a special report of results of instruction will be made, on infor- mation slip, to the surgeon of the new station, to be forwarded through the chief surgeon to the Surgeon General. The fol- lowing order will be used, estimating each item on the basis of a maximum of 10: (1) Discipline; (2) nursing; (3) first aid; (4) drill; (5) cooking; (6) pharmacy; (7) clerical work; (8) field work; (9) care and management of animals. 28. At posts entitled to an acting hospital steward, where no detail has been made, the allotment of privates may be temporarily increased by one private under instruction for the vacant position. 29. Members of the hospital corps will be instructed by a medical officer of the post, at such times, in addition to those 16 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. prescribed in paragraph 34, as the surgeon may deem neces- sary. This instruction will consist of lectures and demonstra- tions in the methods of rendering first aid to the sick and wounded, and of drills in the ambulance service, and as litter bearers, in accordance with the drill regulations. FIELD EQUIPMENTOF MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITAL CORPS. 30. The field equipment to be carried by privates of the hospital corps is as follows: Canteen, canteen strap, haver- sack, haversack strap, litter sling, waist belt, waist-belt plate, meat can, tin cup, knife, fork, spoon, hospital-corps pouch; when serving as orderly, a medical officer's orderly pouch, instead of the hospital-corps pouch. 31. The field equipment for noncommissioned officers is the same as for privates, with exception of the litter sling and hospital-corps pouch. 32. The articles heretofore carried in the knapsack or blanket bag, together with the overcoat, will be rolled in the piece of shelter tent supplied each soldier, and carried in the transpor- tation wagon. When the soldier is mounted, and no wheel transportation is available, they will be carried on the saddle, as directed in the drill regulations for the cavalry. 33. When detailed for service in the field during Indian wars, or when left with the sick or wounded under circum- stances which justify the expectation that their rights as noncombatants, under the Geneva Convention, will not be recognized, commanding officers will issue to members of the hospital corps revolvers or other available firearms. With these exceptions, no side arms will be issued to members of the hospital corps. INSTRUCTION IN FIRST AID. (See A. R. 1412, 1413.) 34. Instruction in the duties of litter bearers and the methods of rendering first aid to the sick and wounded will be given to all enlisted men of the Army by their company officers for at least four hours in each month. Company commanders will be supplied by the Surgeon General with the drill regu- MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 17 lations for the hospital corps, and the surgeon of the post, under the direction of the post commander, will thoroughly instruct such captains as may volunteer therefor and all lieu- tenants serving with troops in the professional knowledge required. 35. The instruction necessary to enable company officers to drill the enlisted men of their companies ' ' in the duties of litter bearers and methods of rendering first aid to the sick and wounded" will be given chiefly by practical demonstrations, made in their presence. The prescribed drills of company bearers and of the detachment of the hospital corps will be utilized for this purpose, especial attention being given to the instruction in first aid. The practical demonstrations, accom- panied by full explanations, should include methods of arrest- ing hemorrhage, of applying the dressings contained in the first-aid packet, of immobilizing a fractured limb, of resuscita- ting those apparently drowned, etc., and should be supple- mented by lectures designed to convey all essential information with reference to the anatomy of bones and blood vessels ; the causes and treatment of syncope and of heat exhaustion ; the differential diagnosis and treatment of sunstroke ; the ration- ale of the various measures of first aid to the sick and wounded, etc. HOSPITAL MATRONS. (See A. R. 1437.) 36. Washing for the Medical Department not done by a hos- pital matron is paid for on vouchers (Form No. 4) approved by the Surgeon General. AMBULANCE SERVICE. (See A. R. 1414-1419.) 37. The ambulance and hospital service of each independ- ent command will be under the supervision of its chief sur- geon. He should make all necessary arrangements for the care and transportation of the wounded, who, during an engagement, will receive attention at the following principal points, and in the following order: (1) with the line of battle under fire; (2) at the first dressing stations; (*3) at the ambu- lance station; (4) at the division, brigade, or field hospitals. 18 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. He establishes the ambulance stations in the rear, and gives directions concerning the first dressing stations ; details the proper number of privates of the hospital corps, acting hos- pital stewards, hospital stewards, and medical officers for duty with the advance line, and for the care and transportation of the wounded between the front line, the first dressing stations, the ambulance stations, and the hospitals. 38. First dressing stations will be established at the place nearest to the combatants, where the wounded and those caring for them will not be unnecessarily exposed to fire. Ambulance stations will be established at some place of security in the rear, or in some convenient building near the field of battle. The hospitals will be established by the chief surgeons, after consultation with the commanding general. Dressing stations will be distinguished during the day by red-cross flags, and at night by red lanterns. 39. It shall be the duty of the chief surgeon of an army corps, or other independent command, previous to a march, and previous to and in time of action, or whenever it may be neces- sary to use the ambulances, to issue the proper orders to his assistants for the distribution and management of the same in collecting the sick and wounded and conveying them to their destination. HOSPITAL BUILDINGS. (See A. R. 1424-1430.) 40. New floors in hospitals will not be painted. They may be finished in oil and paraffin, or oil, wax, turpentine, etc. , to which coloring matter may be added if deemed necessary. Floors of verandas and porches should be protected by paint. 41. When an allotment of funds for the repair of a hospital or hospital steward's quarter has been made, the] officer in charge will be notified of the action by letter from the Surgeon General, the receipt of which will be acknowledged by return mail. Estimates and other papers referring to a hospital must be prepared separately from those for a hospital steward's quarters. On the last day of each month, until the work is completed and so reported, he will advise the Surgeon General, MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 19 by information slip, what progress is being made, or if none, the reasons for delay so far as he can ascertain. 42. In every post hospital a room should, if possible, be set aside as an operating room. Special attention should be given at all times to the cleanliness of this room, including its walls and floors, as well as the necessary furniture. A stout table, of suitable size and plain finish, that can be easily scrubbed, should always be in readiness. In this room should be placed all the instruments and dressings, antiseptics, ansesthetics^and other appliances that may be needed in an emergency. While always accessible, they should be guarded from handling by irresponsible persons. The Arnold's sterilizer and the boiler of the kitchen stove or range afford ready means for sterili- zing instruments, dressings, basins, towels, etc. , that may be needed at an operation. At the large permanent posts, if 110 suitable room is available, plans and estimates should be for- warded for such changes in or addition to the hospital building as will provide a conveniently located operating room. Provi- sion should also be made for a laboratory, in which the chem- ical and bacteriological sets furnished can be conveniently arranged, so that they may be always ready for use. ARMY AND NAVY GENERAL HOSPITAL. 43. The Army and Navy General Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. , is under the direction of the Secretary of War, and is devoted to the treatment of the officers and enlisted men of the military and naval service of the United States, and the officers of the Revenue-Cutter Service, and of the Marine-Hos- pital Service, for such diseases as the waters of the Hot Springs of Arkansas have an established reputation in benefiting. 44. Admission to this hospital is restricted to those of the above-named classes who require medical treatment, in the following order of preference : (1) Officers and enlisted men of the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps on the active lists, and Cadets at the Military and Naval Academies ; (2) officers and enlisted men of the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps on the retired lists ; (3) officers of the Revenue- Cutter Service and of the Marine-Hospital Service. 20 MANUAL, FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 45. The organization of the hospital shall consist of one medical officer of the Army, who will command it ; and such other medical officers of the Army and Navy as may be neces- sary, to be detailed by the Secretary of War or the Secretary of the Navy, respectively ; one officer of the Quartermaster's Department, or of the line of the Army as an acting assistant quartermaster, who will also be an acting commissary of sub- sistence, if required, detailed by the Secretary of War ; such noncommissioned officers and men of the hospital corps as may be authorized by the Secretary of War ; and such civil employees as may be necessary for the proper service of the hospital. 46. The civil employees not in the classified service will be appointed by the commanding officer, having in view their fitness for the service required. They will be governed by such rules as may be promulgated for the service of the hos- pital, and they may be discharged by the appointing officer for unfitness, or when their services become unnecessary. 47. Such officers as may be under treatment, when sub- sisted in the hospital, will be subject to a charge for subsist- ence not to exceed one dollar and fifty cents per day, to be paid on the last day of each month, or upon leaving the hospital. 48. Military or naval cadets will in like manner pay a sub- sistence charge at the rate of one dollar per day. Such cadets while patients may have the privilege of the officers' mess, at the discretion of the commanding officer. 49. Should an officer or cadet from any cause (as in case of death) fail to pay an account for subsistence ' when due, the fact will be immediately reported by the commanding officer to the Surgeon General of the Army, who will certify the fact to the Paymaster General of the Army, to the Surgeon General of the Navy, or to the Secretary of the Treasury, as the case may be, and the proper officers of the War, Navy, or Treasury Departments will take such steps as will promptly secure to the hospital payment of the amounts due. 50. Enlisted men on the active list while under treatment or on duty in the hospital will have the usual allowance of rations commuted at the rate of not less than thirty cents per day, MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 21 to be paid by the proper officers of the War or Navy Depart- ment, upon the receipt of monthly statements of the amounts due, certified by the Surgeon General of the Army. 51. Enlisted men of the Army on the retired list will pay such charges for subsistence as may from time to time be pre- scribed in orders, and those of the Navy and Marine Corps will pay similar charges as determined by their equivalent rank. 52. The commanding officer will account monthly to the Sur- geon General of the Army for all money received or expended on account of officers and enlisted men. 53. The Surgeon General of the Army will certify monthly to the Surgeon General of the Navy all balances due on account of subsistence furnished to enlisted men of the Navy or Marine Corps on the active list, and to the Commissary General of Subsistence of the Army all balances due on account of sub- sistence furnished to enlisted men of the Army on the active list, said men in each case being such as have been ordered to the hospital for duty or treatment. 54. Enlisted men of the Army, the Navy, or the Marine Corps admitted to the hospital by proper authority while on furlough will pay for subsistence at the same rate that the rations of the other enlisted men are commuted. 55. Subsistence stores for use in the officers' and enlisted men's messes may be purchased by the commanding officer of the hospital from such officers of the Subsistence Department as the Commissary General of Subsistence may designate. 56. Authority for the admission of an officer of the Army on the active list will be granted on his personal application, through the regular military channels, to the Adjutant General of the Army, for a sick leave of absence, based upon a med- ical officer's certificate that sets forth the disability for which treatment at this hospital is recommended, and the opinion of the medical officer that such treatment will conduce to the more rapid recovery of the patient. Sick leave of absence to enter the hospital will then be granted. 57. The limit of a permit to enter the hospital is fixed at fourteen days. 22 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 58. The officer's continuance in the hospital will be deter- mined by the commanding officer, who will from time to time report to the Adjutant General as to the officer's physical con- dition, and will express his opinion as to the length of time required for treatment. If this is approved, the sick leave, if the officer has such, will be extended accordingly. Ordi- narily, officers on the active list will not remain longer than four months at the hospital, and a special report will be made in the case of an officer who shall be under treatment there six months. 59. Retired officers of the Army may make direct applica- tion, accompanied by a medical certificate, to the Adjutant General for permission to enter the hospital. Retired officers may leave the hospital at their discretion, and will not remain there longer than three months without special permission, based on the recommendation of the commanding officer. 60. The accommodations for enlisted men of the Army are allotted among the several military departments. The com- manding officer of the hospital will notify department com- manders from time to time of the number of vacant beds at their disposal. 61. For the admission of an enlisted man application will be made to the department commander by the man's immediate commanding officer, on the recommendation of the surgeon, which will accompany the application. Should the chief sur- geon so advise, the department commander may order the soldier to report to the commanding officer of the hospital for admission for treatment. 62. When in his opinion it is proper, the commanding officer of the hospital will issue the necessary orders for the soldier to rejoin his company or station. Should he be a fit subject for discharge for disability, or should a change of climate be thought necessary, the commanding officer of the hospital will notify the Adjutant General and make such recommendations as he may deem proper, when suitable orders will be issued in the case. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 23 63. In selecting cases for this hospital medical officers will exercise discretion, and will only recommend such as are seri- ous or obstinate and do not promise good results if treated at the post. It is not required to certify that treatment at Hot Springs is necessary to restore health, but to establish a rea- sonable probability that the facilities there will materially aid in the rapidity and permanence of the recovery. Besides the transfer slip, an outline of the history and treatment of the case must accompany each patient. 64. The transfer of venereal cases to the Army and Navy General Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark., is prohibited. In order that patients suffering from venereal diseases may not be permitted to enter this hospital, medical officers will exer- cise great care in their examination of each case before they forward requests for admission. SERVICE OF HOSPITALS. (See A. R. 1435-1449.) 65. When a patient is transferred from the care of one medical officer to another, a report of the case (Form No. 26) will accompany him. 66. Hospital clothing will be worn by patients only during their stay in hospital. Each article will be marked as hospital property. When very sick soldiers are transferred from one hospital to another, the hospital clothing necessary for their comfort may be sent with them, properly invoiced, and accom- panied by a check list, giving the names of the men in whose possession it is. Under the provisions of this paragraph, crutches and similar articles may, if necessary, be similarly transferred with the patient from one post or hospital to another. 67. Clothing and other articles which can be immersed in boiling water, or a disinfecting solution, without material injury, should be disinfected and not destroyed by burning. Articles destroyed to prevent contagion must be accounted for by a certificate of the officer responsible, setting forth fully the circumstances necessitating such destruction. 24 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. HOSPITAL FUND. (See A. R. 300, 1259, 1269, 1270.) 68. A statement of the hospital fund and return of durable property in the prescribed form (Form "No. 35) will be for- warded by the surgeon at the end of each month and when relieved from duty, to the chief surgeon, who upon examina- tion and approval will forward it to the Surgeon General. 69. Chief surgeons may grant authority for the purchase of articles required for the use of the sick in hospital and for the hospital corps, when satisfied that they are proper charges against the hospital fund. In case of doubt, the request for authority will be referred to the Surgeon General for his action. 70. Officers of the Medical Department will be held to a personal accountability for the loss of any portion of the hos- pital fund not deposited and locked in the cash box of the hospital safe. Any change in the combination of the lock of the hospital safe will be immediately reported to the Surgeon General. 71. Gratuities to hospital cooks may be authorized by chief surgeons when the amount of the hospital fund on hand justi- fies such an expenditure, viz : (a) At posts where the number of patients treated in hospital averages less than five daily, ten cents per day; where the number averages more than five daily, twenty cents per day ; where the number averages more than ten daily, a gratuity of ten cents per day may also be paid to a second cook. (b) A gratuity of not exceeding ten dollars may be paid from the hospital fund to the hospital gardener, when approved by the Surgeon General. (c) Chief surgeons will instruct the medical officers serving in their respective departments, when granted authority to pay gratuities, to quote on the statement of the hospital fund the date and source of such authority. MEDICAL ATTENDANCE. (See A. R. 1450-1459.) 72. The family of an officer will be understood to include his wife, minor children, and other dependent members of his household, including servants. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 25 73. If citizens residing in the neighborhood of a military post desire the professional attendance of an Army medical officer, it is regarded as not inconsistent with the requirements of the regulations governing the Army for such officer to ren- der his services, when this does not interfere with the proper performance of his official duties. But the establishment of an office outside of the limits of a military post for the purpose of engaging in civil practice is prohibited. 74. Civilians employed in post exchanges are held to be entitled to the privileges of medical and hospital attendance and purchase of medicines allowed civilian employees under A. R. 1444, 1445, 1447, and 1450. MEDICAL SUPPLIES. (See A. R. 1460, 1401.) 75. Medical officers in charge of medical supply depots will purchase and distribute medical and hospital supplies. In cases of emergency, articles not on hand will be purchased in small quantities to fill duly approved requisitions, without waiting for the approval of the Surgeon General. 76. Medical officers detailed as disbursing officers will pay accounts against the Medical Department, when approved by the Surgeon General. Requests for funds will be sent to the Surgeon General in time to prepare and forward requisitions for the same to the Secretary of War before the 25th day of each month. 77. The Supply Table enumerates the medical supplies issued to the Army, and the quantities and sizes of original packages. The Medical Department will supply, from time to time, new remedies of determined therapeutic value ; but newly introduced remedies, desired only for experiment, and such as offer no manifest advantage over those already issued, will not be supplied. These supplies are selected for the mili- tary service, and it is believed that all necessary articles are included, and that the quantities allowed will be found suffi- cient under ordinary circumstances. Requests for particular preparations simply because they are agreeable to the taste, or to save trouble in compounding, will not be approved ; nor will 26 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. preparations of a drug be furnished when one or more practi- cally equivalent ones are on the Supply Table. REQUISITIONS. 78. The senior medical officer of every post will make annual requisition for medical supplies for the year commencing Jan- uary 1st, unless another date is fixed by the Surgeon General. The requisition will be made in triplicate and forwarded to the chief surgeon ; or, in the case of independent posts, in dupli- cate, to the Surgeon General. 79. Chief surgeons will see that annual requisitions do not call for any article not on the Supply Table, nor for quantities in excess of those therein allowed. They will forward one copy to the Surgeon General, one, with their approval, direct to the medical supply depot designated by the Surgeon Gen- eral for issue, and will retain one. 80. Annual requisitions will be forwarded to the chief sur- geon within twenty days before the date at which the period they cover begins. They will be made only for articles that are, or probably will be, needed during the year ; will state the quantity of all articles on hand, as verified by a medical officer in accordance with paragraph 97, and will give the total num- ber of persons entitled by regulations to medicines. Quanti- ties on hand will be deducted from the quantities allowed by the Supply Table. The quantities asked for will be computed on the basis of original packages. 81. Chief surgeons at their inspections will carefully inves- tigate the method of preparing requisitions, particularly as to the necessity for the quantities asked for, and the accuracy with which the quantities on hand are stated. 82. Requisitions for supplies for temporary posts or for those soon to be abandoned will be confined to such articles as are absolutely necessary. 83. Subposts and camps will, in the absence of orders to the contrary, obtain such medical supplies as may be required by requisition upon the senior medical officer of the post to which they are subsidiary, who will issue them after approval by the chief surgeon. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 27 84. The smaller posts will not require all the articles in- cluded in the Supply Table, and the local prevalence or rarity of certain diseases, as well as the quantity or number on hand of each article, will be considered in the preparation and approval of requisitions. 85. When medical supplies are absolutely necessary before the annual requisition is made they will be asked for upon a special requisition, in triplicate, giving a list of the articles needed, and the quantity of each on hand, and the reasons for the necessity of such requisition. These will be transmitted through the chief surgeon, who will retain one copy and will forward two to the Surgeon General. 86. Chief surgeons will personally and carefully scrutinize these requisitions, and will make such changes as they may deem proper. 87. In all returns, requisitions, invoices, and receipts pertain- ing to medical supplies, the nomenclature, order of entry, and classification of the Supply Table will be strictly followed, and all copies will be carefully compared. They will be forwarded without letters of transmittal. 88. In cases of emergency, as sudden epidemics, not admit- ting of delay, chief surgeons are authorized to act upon special requisitions, forwarding one copy , with their action, to the near- est medical supply depot, one to the Surgeon General, with an indorsement stating the circumstances, and retaining one ; but requisitions for articles not on the Supply Table must, in all cases, be forwarded to the Surgeon General for his action. 89. When, as a result of the prevalence of an epidemic, or for any other reason, necessary supplies are likely to be exhausted, timely requisition must be made for additional supplies. Med- ical officers will be held accountable for any suffering which may result from their failure to ask for supplies when it is evi- dent that they will be needed. TRANSFER OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES. 90. Officers transferring medical supplies will prepare in- voices (Form No. 18) in duplicate, one for the Surgeon General and one for the receiving officer. The receiving officer will OF THE UNIVERSITY 28 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. prepare receipts (Form No. 19) in duplicate, one for the issu- ing officer and one for the Surgeon General. The vouchers for the Surgeon General will be promptly forwarded after the transfer is completed. A packer's list (Form No. 17) will, if necessary, be furnished by the issuing officer. 91. Great care should be exercised before receipting for cases of instruments, microscopes, and other property of similar character not enumerated on the property papers in detail, to ascertain that the full contents of such cases are present and in good order. Incomplete cases will be so receipted for, and a list of the missing instruments, etc. , will accompany the receipt in order that the proper officer may be held accountable for the deficiency. (a) Receipts, without remark, for cases of instruments and similar property will be considered as evidence that they are complete and in accordance with the lists of contents as given in the Supply Table, and the receiving officer will be held responsible in accordance therewith. (b) The issuing officer will enter on his invoices, and the receiving officer on his receipts, the condition of all articles not serviceable. 92. Medical officers will report to the Surgeon General and to the issuing officer all defects observed in the quality, quan- tity, or packing of medical supplies. They are requested to freely communicate to the Surgeon General any suggestions tending to the improvement of medical supplies, appliances, etc. , and to make reports as to new designs of apparatus, field equipment, etc. ACCOUNTABILITY. 93. When nonexpendable* articles are lost or destroyed the circumstances of the loss or destruction must be fully set forth in a certificate from the officer responsible for the property, or in a certificate of a commissioned officer cognizant of the facts, or, in the absence of these, in an affidavit of a noninterested person. If the evidence is considered satisfactory by the *Tho names of all expendable articles are printed in the Supoly Table in roman type ; those of all nonexpendable articles are in italics. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 29 Surgeon General, the responsible officer will be so informed and authorized to drop the articles from his returns. If not satisfactory he will be required to replace them at his own expense. 94. Medical officers will take up and account for all medical property of the Army that comes into their possession, and will report, when possible, to whose account it is to be credited. 95. Surgical instruments and appliances that require and are considered worth repairing will be reported to the Surgeon General through the chief surgeon, with a statement of the repairs needed. When requisition is made to complete a broken or imperfect instrument or apparatus, the name of the maker will be given. Instruments of different makes have been issued, and such information is required to insure the proper pattern and fit of the parts asked for. 96. Officers will be held responsible for the serviceable and complete condition of all property in their possession, except such as may have been rendered unserviceable by fair wear and tear. 97. The responsible officer will cause all instruments in his charge to be examined by a commissioned medical officer at least once each month. He will also once each year cause all medical property in his charge to be carefully examined by a commissioned medical officer, and verified by the returns, invoices, etc. REPAIR OF FURNITURE. 98. Officers will report to the Surgeon General such articles of furniture as may need and are considered worth repair or renovation by painting, varnishing, etc. This should be done by post labor, if practicable, request being made for authority to purchase necessary material. If not practicable, the officer will obtain one or more estimates in detail of cost of repair or renovation of such furniture, and forward them through the chief surgeon for the action of the Surgeon General. RETURNS OF MEDICAL PROPERTY. 99. Officers in charge of medical property will prepare annually, on December 31, unless another date is fixed by the 30 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. Surgeon General, or when relieved from the charge thereof, returns of medical property (Form No. 20) in duplicate, show- ing those articles on hand at last return, those received, ex- pended, issued, and sold, and those remaining on hand. The original of this return will be promptly transmitted to the Sur- geon General. The duplicate, with a complete set of vouchers, will be retained for the protection of the officer responsible for the property. 100. In exceptional cases a certified invoice may be offered by the issuing officer, in the absence of a receipt, as a substi- tute for the proper voucher, together with such additional evidence as he may possess in regard to the issue. 101. No interlineations or erasures will be made on the returns, and all articles not provided for in the printed head- ings will be entered in proper order under the heading of ad- ditional articles. 102. Articles issued to posts shall not be taken away by the officer on being relieved, nor when availing himself of a leave of absence, except by authority of the Surgeon General or of a chief surgeon. 103. In invoicing or accounting for broken packages, such UNSERVICEABLE PROPERTY. 104. Duplicate lists of unserviceable property (see A. R. 1463) will be forwarded direct to the Surgeon General. 105. When condemned medical property is sold at public auction the officer responsible therefor will prepare an account of sales (Form No. 9) in duplicate. He will also prepare an invoice (Form No. 10) in duplicate, of the articles sold. The original of this account of sales, accompanied by the original invoice and a copy of the inventory and inspection report, will be sent at once to the Surgeon General ; the duplicate copies of each will be filed by the officer with his retained set of vouchers. 106. Medical officers receiving money from the sale of pub- lic property will deposit the same, without delay, in the nearest Government depository to the credit of the Treasurer of the MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 31 United States, taking duplicate certificates of deposit there- for, the original of which will be forwarded by the depositor, without letter of transmittal, direct to the Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C., and the duplicate retained by him. Should it be necessary to incur any expenses in connec- tion with such sales they will be paid out of the total receipts before depositing the latter, in which case the expenses will be supported by properly prepared and receipted vouchers attached to the account of sales. USE OF MEDICAL PROPERTY. 107. Medical officers in charge of hospital property will not permit it to be used for other than hospital purposes. (A. R. 1443.) 108. Chief surgeons will report every violation of para- graph 107, but it is not to be construed as prohibiting medical officers from taking books and instruments from the hospital when necessary. 109. Under no circumstances will hospital bedding be used except within the hospital to which it has been supplied ; nor will it be used by members of the hospital corps, except when on duty in the wards. 110. Hospital matrons are not entitled to hospital stores, except when prescribed for them as patients; the issue to them of soap or lye for laundry use is not authorized. 111. The issue of articles for use in the preparation of clean- ing mixtures, cosmetics, perfumery, use with spirit lamps, etc., is strictly prohibited. 112. The exchange of medicines with druggists is prohibited. 113. Blankets not in use should be frequently examined, and occasionally shaken and hung out of doors. When stained and soiled, but otherwise in good condition, they should be washed and continued in service. When deemed necessary, authority will be given to have them washed at a steam laun- dry, if one is near the post. 114. Laundry appliances will not be supplied to post hos- pitals. Washtubs will be furnished for the purpose of soaking sheets, clothing, etc. , in disinfecting solutions. 32 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 115. Cocoa matting, in strips 1 meter wide, is supplied for use on the floors of halls, and not for use on stairways or in wards. It should be laid in one strip, and zinc ends will lie issued as required, two for each strip. It should not be nailed to the floor. 116. Rubtjer and flexible catheters and bougies will be kept in the catheter box, using talc (French chalk) or glycerin to preserve them. 117. Pieces of canvas of the proper size for litters will be issued as required to replace pieces that may become torn or unserviceable. If soiled, the canvas will be removed from the litter, washed, and replaced. VACCINE VIRUS. 118. Bequests for vaccine virus will be made direct to the Surgeon General by information slip. On account of its lia- bility to become inert from various causes, especially from heat, it will be asked for in such quantities only as are needed for early use. % DISINFECTANTS. 119. The routine issue of disinfectants is prohibited. (A. R. 1462.) 120. Disinfectants are issued, as are medicines, to be used by medical officers when actually required for some specific pur- pose. Chloride of lime, carbolic acid, and mercuric chloride are issued by the Medical Department for use as disinfectants, properly so called. A solution containing 4 per cent of good chloride of lime, or 5 per cent of carbolic acid, is suitable for dis- infecting the excreta of patients with cholera or typhoid fever, or the sputa of patients suffering from diphtheria, scarlet fever, or tuberculosis. The floors, furniture, etc. , in rooms occupied by patients suffering from an infectious disease may be washed with a 2 per cent solution of carbolic acid, or with a solution of mercuric chloride of 1-1000. Soiled bed linen, undercloth- ing etc. , used by such patients should be immersed in one of the above-mentioned solutions before it is sent to the laundry. But in the absence of any infectious disease, these disinfecting MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 33 agents are not required, and their expenditure for purposes of general post sanitation is not authorized. 121. Sulphate of iron and other cheap antiseptics and deo- dorants may be used when necessary. But the necessity for their use is a reproach upon the sanitary police of a post, and should only be required under exceptional circumstances. The alvine discharges of healthy persons do not require dis- infection, and when properly disposed of do not require treat- ment with any chemical agent whatever. If water-closets or earth closets are offensive, this is due to faulty construction, to insufficient supply of water or dry earth, or to neglect of ordinary cleanliness. The attempt to remedy such defects by the systematic use of antiseptics is expensive and unsatisfac- tory in its results. The same is true of foul drains, bad-smelling urinals, accumulations of garbage, etc. The proper remedy for such conditions is cleanliness and strict sanitary police. 122. When accumulations of organic material undergoing decomposition can not be removed or buried they may be treated with an antiseptic solution, or with freshly burned quicklime. Quicklime is also a valuable disinfectant, and may be substituted for the more expensive chloride of lime for disinfection of typhoid and cholera f excreta, etc. For this purpose freshly prepared milk of lime should be used, contain- ing about 1 part, by weight, of hydrate of lime to 8 of water. 123. During the prevalence of an epidemic, or when there is reason to believe that infectious material has been introduced from any source, latrines and cesspools may be treated with milk of lime, in the proportion gf 5 parts to 100 parts of the contents of the vault, and the daily addition of 10 parts for 100 parts of daily increment of feces. STERILIZED DRESSINGS. 124. Sterilized dressings will not be issued for post use. Their preparation is so simple and so well understood that they should be prepared as needed. First-aid packets will be reserved exclusively for field use, except th >se issued for instruction. 34 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. FIELD APPLIANCES. 125. Field furniture will not be used at posts, except when required for the instruction of men of the hospital corps. 1 26. Medical and surgical chests will be frequently inspected and kept in perfect order for immediate field use. Under no circumstances will their contents be used at posts. 127. Field tourniquets and first-aid packets for the equip- ment of company bearers when serving in the field will be kept by the surgeon of the post until the necessity for such service arises. Before the departure of troops he will issue the required number to each company commander, taking his memorandum receipt therefor. Upon the return of the com- mand the articles will be returned to the surgeon of the post. First-aid packets are expendable. If tourniquets thus issued are lost while in possession of a company commander, report of the fact should be made to the Surgeon General by the medical officer responsible, stating the circumstances of the loss, and requesting authority to drop the missing articles from his returns. If the command while in the field is ordered to another station, the surgeon at this station will, upon its arrival, receive the tourniquets and packets, invoices and receipts being exchanged by the issuing and receiving officers. 128. In time of war every officer and enlisted man will be furnished a first-aid packet by the Medical Department. For purposes of instruction these packets will be obtained by the surgeon of each post, upon special requisitions, and will be supplied by them to company commanders. The allowance for this purpose will be twenty packets for each company of infantry, battery of artillery, or troop of cavalry. The dress- ings contained in these packets can be used repeatedly for the practical instruction of officers and enlisted men, and after being used for this purpose should be made up into packets of the original form. These packets are expendable, but great care should be exercised to prevent any unnecessary expendi- ture, and officers will be held strictly accountable for their proper and economical use for the purpose indicated. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 35 CLINICAL THERMOMETERS. 129. Clinical thermometers are issued by the Surgeon Gen- eral upon request by information slip direct, stating number on hand, and accompanied by a certificate of the medical offi- cer in case of breakage, giving the name of the person who caused such loss and the number of the thermometer. METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS. 130. Meteorological instruments are not issued by the Med- ical Department. When required for use at designated posts they will be obtained by application direct to the Chief of the Weather Bureau, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., specifying explicitly the kind of instruments required. The following will be issued : Maximum and minimum ther- mometers, rain and snow gauges, and measuring rods. When such instruments are broken or unserviceable the request for new ones will contain a statement setting forth the circum- stances attending the breakage, and, if a thermometer, the parts of the instrument will be returned to the office of the Weather Bureau by mail. Receipts for these instruments will be made out by the surgeon of the post on forms forwarded with the instruments, and when relieved from duty at the station he will so notify the Chief of the Weather Bureau, in order that the responsibility for the property may be properly t n n isf erred. Meteorological instruments heretofore issued by the Medical Department will be borne upon the property returns until broken or worn out. Such as may be issued by the Weather Bureau will not be taken up on these returns. 131. Meteorological observations will be taken and registers thereof kept at such posts as may be designated by the Surgeon General, to whom a report of the observations (Form No. 29), which shall be a true copy of the register, will be forwarded by the senior medical officer at the end of every month. WINDOW CURTAINS, SCREENS, AND BOOKCASES. 132. When window curtains and fixtures, window and door screens, and portable bookcases are required, the requisitions 36 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. therefor will be special, and should be accompanied by an esti- mate of cost of making suitable articles at or near the post. Wire netting will be furnished to repair such window and door screens as have become unserviceable. 133. When the present supply of bed screens is exhausted no more will be issued. When required, application will be made to have frames constructed at the post, giving estimate of the cost ; they will not in future be covered with holland, but sheets will be placed on the screens and frequently washed. PRESCRIPTIONS. (See A. R. 1461.) 134. All prescriptions will be placed on file at the hospital; those for liquors will be placed on a separate file. CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL SETS. 135. Chemical and bacteriological sets will be issued to the larger posts, and officers to whom these sets are furnished will make an annual report on December 31, showing what use has been made of them. ABANDONMENT OF POSTS. 136. Unless modified by special instructions from the Sur- geon General, the following general rule will be observed in the disposition of medical property upon the abandonment of a post : (a) Medicines, dressings, clothing, bedding, and miscella- neous articles in good and serviceable condition should be sent to other posts in the department. ( b ) Unserviceable property should be submitted to the action of an inspector, with a view to final disposition by sale or destruction. (c) Only such nonexpendable articles as are in perfect order, including recent medical works, and all instruments which can not be transferred to other posts without unnecessary duplica- tion, should be turned into a medical supply depot. 137. When a post is abandoned or a detachment is broken up, the medical officer will report the fact to the chief surgeon, MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 37 and after completing all current reports, will forward them to the Surgeon General, together with the Clothing Book, Descriptive and Deposit Book, and Muster and Pay Bolls, and all official papers, records, and record books pertaining to the Medical Department of the post. MEDICAL BOOKS AND JOURNALS. 138. Such new books as may be selected by the Surgeon General will be furnished without requisition. 139. The library of the Surgeon General's office is intended for reference rather than for circulation, but books that can be readily replaced will be loaned to medical officers of the Army, they being held responsible for the safe return of the volumes within two weeks from the day of their receipt. In special cases this time may be extended. 140. Medical journals and periodicals issued by the Surgeon General are to be considered as belonging to the hospital or st at ion to which they are sent. They will be kept on file, and medical officers, on taking station, will ascertain that the files are complete. When a post is discontinued a list of journals and periodicals will b* sent, through the chief surgeon, to tin- Surgeon General, who will give directions as to their disposition. ICE MACHINES. 141. Ice machines are issued to such southern posts as are unable to obtain^ by purchase, ice for the use of the sick. They are furnished by the Medical Department to supply ice for the sick in hospital, and not for the comfort or convenience of the garrison at large. They will be accounted for and in- voiced in detail. 142. Medical officers will pay special attention to the details of the manufacture of ice, both as to the proper management of the apparatus and to the financial results from the sale of ice, and will be held responsible for the condition of these machines and the results obtained. 1 43. In order to provide for the maintenance of the apparatus in complete running order, and to promptly pay bills incurred 38 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. for repairs, a fund of at least $300 will be kept constantly on hand. When this fund is reduced by necessary expenses, such change win be made in the price at which ice is sold as will speedily restore it to the above minimum amount. The fund will be used for the following purposes only : (a) Running expenses proper, and repairs ; fuel, when it can not be otherwise obtained; purchase of oil, ammonia, etc. When renewal of heavy parts of the apparatus is required, application will be made to the Surgeon General to secure their transportation. The purchase and transportation of ammonia in reservoirs will be paid for from the ice fund. Great care will be exercised to obtain such articles in time to allow of their shipment as freight, and not by express, and before the regular working of the apparatus is prevented by their absence. (b) An engineer and one assistant is usually a sufficient force to run an ice machine. No fixed rate can be made as to the compensation of the engineer, that being regulated by circum- stances. (c) The detail, on special duty at the ice machine, of one enlisted man is authorized, and he may be paid a gratuity of not exceeding fifty cents per day. (d) The purchase from the ice fund of articles which may be bought from the hospital fund is prohibited. In excepti onal cases, authority for a temporary transfer of money from the ice fund to the hospital fund may be obtained by application to the Surgeon General, setting forth fully the reasons for such request ; but if given, the authority will not be consid- ered as constituting a precedent for such transfers. Bills incurred will be filed at post as vouchers. (e) Payment for the delivery of ice is not considered to be a proper charge against the fund. If it can not be delivered in a garrison free of expense, it should be issued only when called for at the place of manufacture. Payment for the collection of bills for ice furnished is also unauthorized. 144. The price at which ice is sold will be fixed by the medical officer in charge, subject to the approval of the chief surgeon. It may vary from month to month, according to the amount of and demand upon the ice fund. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 39 145. After freely supplying the hospital, ice should, as a rule, be'sold to companies, to officers, to the commissary of the post for the preservation of fresh beef, and to enlisted men and their families, at a certain price ; to the post exchange and to quartermaster's employees at a somewhat higher price ; and to civilians not in Government employ at a still higher price. The gratuitous issue of ice except to the hospital and to patients entitled to medicines and medical attendance for whom it may be specially prescribed, is unauthorized. 146. When the officer responsible for the fund is relieved from duty, its transfer will be acknowledged by receipts writ- ten across the face of the last statement sent to the Surgeon General, and of the one retained at post. The ice machine will be accounted for in accordance with regulations. ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM. (See A. R. 1130.) 147. Medical officers, and others interested in the progress of medical science, are invited to forward contributions to the Army Medical Museum. Besides interesting medical and surgical specimens, the following classes of articles will be collected and forwarded by those medical officers who have opportunities for so doing: (1) Rare pathological specimens from animals, including monstrosities; (2) typical crania of Indian tribes, specimens of their arms, dress, implements, rare articles of their diet, medicines, etc. ; (3) specimens of poison- ous insects and reptiles, and of their effects on animals. REPORTS AND RETURNS. (See A. R. 1464, 1466.) 148. Medical officers will, on the last day of every month, report to the Surgeon General their stations and duties during the month, giving a brief resume of the service performed by them. They will also immediately report any change in their station and duties, stating the authority therefor, with num- ber, date, and source of order in each case. 149. The senior surgeon of each hospital, post, regiment, or detachment will prepare and forward the following reports : 40 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. (a) Daily. (1) Report of sick and wounded, for the com- manding officer ; (2) report of the detachment of the hospital corps, for the commanding officer. (b) Monthly. (1) Sanitary report; (2) report of sick and wounded (Form No. 25), which will bo an exact copy of the register of patients, to be made in duplicate on the last day of every month, one to be sent to the chief surgeon and one to the Surgeon General ; (3) return of the hospital corps (Form No. 32), to be made in duplicate on the last day of each month, one to be sent to the chief surgeon and one to the Surgeon General direct ; (4) monthly statement of the hospital fund and return of durable property (Form No. 35), to be forwarded to the chief surgeon, who will verify its correctness and forward it to the Surgeon General ; (5) report of meteorological observa- tions (Form No. 29) ; (6) report of the physical examination of recruits (Form No. 30) ; (7) report of station and duty ; (8) re- port of repairs to hospitals and hospital steward's quarters ; (9) report of issues and sales of medicines to civilians.

(1) Report of epidemic diseases ; (2) report of record books ; (3) list of wounded ; (4) report of deaths of officers ; (5) report of desertions. In the absence of a medical officer, the officer designated to take charge of medical prop- erty (A. R. 659) will sign all property and administrative papers, and the physician who renders professional service will sign papers of a professional character, such as reports of sick and wounded, surgical reports, morning sick reports, etc. 150. On the appearance of the first recognized case of chol- era, yellow fever, or other epidemic disease at or near a mili- tary post or station, the medical officer in charge will at once report the fact to the chief surgeon and forward a duplicate of his report direct to the Surgeon General. Every medical officer in charge of cholera or yellow-fever patients will, in addition to the usual report of sick and wounded, render in duplicate, at the end of each month, a report (Form No. 27) containing a list of such patients, one of which he will forward to the chief surgeon and the other direct to the Surgeon General. At the close of the epidemic, or of his tour of service at the place, he MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 41 will forward, with as little delay as practicable, a history of the epidemic, its origin or importation, its progress and decline, and the methods of treatment or prevention, with results; also results of autopsies. 151. Medical officers will notify local boards of health of any cases of yellow fever, cholera, smallpox or other conta- gious diseases that may occur at their posts of duty. 152. The death of an officer, physician under contract or hospital steward, will be immediately reported by the attend- ing surgeon or nearest medical officer, to the chief surgeon and the Surgeon General. RECORD BOOKS. 153. The report of record books pertaining to the Medical Department (Form No. 37) will be forwarded when an officer is relieved from duty or when a post is abandoned. The Descriptive and Deposit Book, the Clothing Book, and the Letter-press Book, will be accounted for on this report. The Letter-press Book is not to be used as an "official record" of letters and indorsements sent. Orders, Jetters, letters received, and indorsements may be kept in separate books and substituted for the joint Order and Letter book and Letters- received, jnid Indorsement book. In all record books a state- ment explanatory of the contents will be pasted on the inside of the front cover; care must be taken that signatures are made in these books wherever necessary. The Medical His- tory of Post must be used exclusively for recording historical events in connection with the post, and for the official indorse- ments on the report required by paragraph 1393, A. R. Entries in record books will be continuous until the books are filled ; the date of commencement and of last entry to be noted on the report. In the column of remarks note whether or not each book is in use ; if not state the reason. If all record books are not on hand, requisition for a complete supply will be promptly made. SUPPLY DEPOTS. 154. Medical officers in charge of supply depots will pre- pare at the end of each quarter (a) A return, in duplicate, of medical property (Form No. 14). 42 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. (&) A quarterly abstract of receipts and issues (Forms Nos. 11, 12, and 13) in duplicate. 155. Medical officers in charge of supply depots will keep the following books of record, and turn them over to their suc- cessors : Record of letters received, of letters sent, of moneys received, of moneys disbursed, or orders given for medical stores, of articles received, of articles expended, of articles on hand, of requisitions, of issues, of invoices of packages turned over to the Quartermaster's Department, of contents of pack- ages, and of Employees. INFORMATION SLIPS. 1 56. Information slips are intended for use by medical offi- cers in cases where formal letters can be dispensed with, viz: personal reports of medical officers ; changes in the status of hospital -corps members and of hospital matrons ; requests for authority for the reenlistment of acting hospital stewards and privates; acknowledgments of receipt of S. G. O. circulars; requests for and acknowledgments of receipt of blank forms, clinical thermometers, typewriter ribbons, vaccine virus ; re- quests for special expenditures of the hospital fund ; acknowl- edgments of receipt of funds for construction and repair of hospitals and hospital stewards' quarters and monthly reports of progress of work * explanations concerning reports of sick and wounded and outline-figure cards. They should not be used in any case requiring action by another bureau. Letter forms, such as ' ' Sir : I have the honor," and ' ' Very respectfully," will not be used. Indorsements may follow in the usual form. If neither remark nor action is required by the chief surgeon, his receiving stamp will take the place of an indorsement, to which may be added the words ''contents noted," if deemed necessary. A memorandum will be entered on the stub, with signature of officer attached, to verify record. REGISTER OF PATIENTS. 157. The term "sick" or "wounded," applied to an officer or soldier treated in hospital, means that he is so disabled as to be unfit for all military duty ; applied to one treated in quarters, that he is partially disabled and unfit for all military duties, MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 43 unless his fitness for certain duties is specifically stated by the medical officer. Under any of these conditions he is technic- ally on the "sick report," and his name should be borne on the Register of Patients. 158. The entries on the Register of Patients will be made day by day as the cases are admitted, and, will be continuous, i. e. , without break from day to day, month to month, or year to year. Ordinarily there will be but one entry for each case, although it may be prolonged for months. Exceptionally, cases which present many complications may have to be car- ried forward to current date to secure space for a satisfactory record ; but in all such cases the two entries should be con- nect ed by cross references. 159. Officers or enlisted men who are excused from all or any part of their military duty, such as attendance on certain calls, drills, target practice, mounted duty, etc., because of physical disability, are to be borne upon the register until their cases arc completed; officers and enlisted men excused from scli. rd. Self-maiming. or unknown. Judicial execution. Homicide. 176. Medical officers in recording the causes of admission to sick report will make use of this nomenclature in all cases for which a specific title is provided. Experience has shown that it includes most of the causes of disability likely to occur in army practice. In recording cases for which a title is not specially provided, as, for instance, those which, in a consoli- dation of the statistics, would be tabulated under ' ' Diseases of the mouth and tongue, " ' ' Diseases of the external ear, " etc. , or thrown among "Other diseases of this class," such terms will be used as will briefly and accurately describe the disease or injury, while conforming as far as possible to the nomenclature generally accepted by the profession. Medical officers will report in this way also when the cases are to be consolidated on the classified list under a generic term, as in certain of the diseases of the skin. The organ or part affected should be specified when the name of the morbid condition fails to indicate it, as in paraly- sis, aneurism, ulcer, herpes, etc., as also in inflammations, as adenitis, osteitis, arthritis, synovitis, etc., and in local in juries, as abrasions, burns, contusions, dislocations, etc. The surgical characteristics of wounds, fractures, hernias, etc. , should be stated ; and in cases of poisoning the name of the poison should be given. 177. Cases of hernia suitable for an operation should receive surgical treatment. Operations for the radical cure of hernia will be performed by medical officers specially designated by the Surgeon General. Medical officers will report cases of 52 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. hernia considered favorable for operation to the Surgeon Gen- eral. If the case is considered unsuitable for operation, the fact will be noted upon the certificate of disability. CERTIFICATES OF DISABILITY. 178. In cases of discharge of enlisted men on surgeon's cer- tificate of disability, the certificate of the surgeon will be filled out in his own handwriting. EXAMINATION OF RECRUITS. (See A. B. 841-848.) 179. The minimum height of a recruit is at present fixed at five feet four inches for all branches of the service, although recruiting officers are allowed to exercise their discretion as to the enlistment of desirable recruits (such as band musicians, -school-teachers, tailors, etc. ) , who may fall not more than one- fourth of an inch below the minimum standard of height ; the maximum height for the cavalry service is five feet ten inches ; that for infantry and artillery is governed by the maximum of weight, to which should be applied the rule for proportion in height (see par. 195). 180. The minimum weight for all recruits is one hundred and twenty-five pounds, except for the cavalry, in which enlist- ments may be made without regard to a minimum weight, pro- vided the chest measurement and chest mobility are satisfac- tory. The maximum for infantry and artillery is one hundred and ninety pounds ; for cavalry and light artillery one hun- dred and sixty-five pounds. 181. The chest mobility, i. e., the difference between the measurement at inspiration and expiration, should be at least two inches in men below five feet seven inches in height, and two and one-half inches in those above that height. REENLISTMENTS. 182. The recruiting officer is permitted to accept men desir- ing to reenlist who present themselves for that purpose within the prescribed limit of time, notwithstanding they may have some physical disqualification which would cause their rejec- tion as recruits . Provided, They have no serious defect which MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 53 would probably prevent the discharge of their duties as sol- diers. In all such cases the defects and ftie fact that they existed prior to reenlistment will be noted on the soldier's enlistment papers and examination form. NOTK. In modifying the requirements for reenlistment, it is the intention of the W:ir I (enactment to provide for the continuance in service of such faithful soldiers as have incurred disabilities during prior enlistments which probably will not unfit them for duty in the future; as, for example, hernia, which is kept in place by wearing a truss; piles; varicose veins ; certain defects of vision, as near or far sight ; the loss of certain lingers or toes ; mutilations by gunshot or other wounds, etc. MODE OF EXAMINING A RECRUIT. 183. In passing a recruit the examining officer is to examine him stripped; to see that he has the free use of his limbs; that his chest is ample ; that his hearing, vision, and speech are per- fect ; that he has no tumors or ulcerated or extensively cica- trixed legs ; no rupture or chronic cutaneous affection ; that he has not received any contusion or wound of the head that may impair his faculties ; that he is not a drunkard ; is not subject to convulsions, and has no infectious or other disorder that may unfit him for military service. The recruit must be effective, able-bodi(> feet 4 inches 118 30% "> lVet 5 inches 120 31 5 feet (i inches 122 31 K "> feet 7 inches 124 31% 5 feet 8 inches 128 32 5 feet 9 inches 132 32% 5 feet 10 inches 136 32 >2 5 feet 11 inches _ _ 14 "2 32% 6 feet 148 33 (/) Candidates will be carefully examined, while stripped, by the methods prescribed for the examination of recruits, and will be rejected for any mental or physical defect which would constitute a cause of rejection in the case of a recruit, or for any apparent feebleness of constitution or cachexia. 58 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. (g) The result of the physical examination in each case, whether accepted or rejected, will be recorded on the blank form furnished by the Adjutant General for this purpose and forwarded to the Surgeon General. OUTLINE-FIGURE CARDS. 199. A record of the marks upon the person of the accepted recruit will be made upon an outline -figure card ; the blanks will be furnished by the Adjutant General. 200. A card is required for every soldier who completes enlistment by taking .the oath, except scouts and Indians, whether enlisting for the first time or not, and whether for the line or one of the staff departments. The card should not be forwarded until the recruit is sworn in, and should then immediately, upon completion, be sent direct to the Surgeon General. No letter of transmittal is required. 201. For enlistments made at military posts the card will be prepared and forwarded by the medical officer or the civil- ian physician making the medical examination. For enlist- ments made at other recruiting stations by the medical officer, if there is one; otherwise, as follows: (1) When the recruit is sent direct to rendezvous or post by the medical officer who examines the recruit upon his arrival there ; (2) when, before joining rendezvous or regiment the recruit is discharged, is allowed a furlough, or is assigned to duty at the recruiting station by the enlisting officer. 202. All indelible or permanent marks of whatsoever char- acter upon the person of the recruit, whether peculiar in themselves or not, should be recorded on the cards, viz : Scars, (including vaccination marks), moles, birthmarks and pigmen- tations, circumcisions, amputations or other losses of joints of fingers or toes, tattoo marks, the absence of teeth (desig- nating those that are absent) , and malformations or deviations from the normal standard of any part of the person. It is not, however, desired that the cards shall be encumbered with the record of trifling and valueless marks minute in size, when better marks are found in sufficient number. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 59 203. A careful and systematic search of the body should be made, front and rear, on each side of the median line, sepa- rately, commencing at the scalp and ending at the foot. The marks found will be recorded and described as indicated in paragraphs 207, 208, and 209. 204. Cards showing less than five marks (in addition to vac- cination scars, tattooings, loss of teeth, and deformities) can not be relied upon in the effort to discover identity or to establish it in suspected cases. Experience shows that as many as ten to fifteen marks may usually be found. 205. If no mark be found upon the recruit, the fact should !)< stated upon both the front and back of the card; likewise, if marks are found upon the front and none upon the rear or vice versa, the entry "no marks" should be made upon the appropriate side of the card. 206. The location of the mark and its characteristics, such as form and direction, up< m the person of the recruit, should be indicated upon the corresp* mding part of the figure, and a solid line should be drawn therefrom to the description in terms upon the fly leaf opposite. When this description is common t o a number of marks it need not be repeated for each one, but the lines may converge to it. Care should be taken, however, in grouping the descriptions on the card, that its legibility and clearness are not impaired ; lines, for instance, should not cross each other when it can conveniently be avoided. 207. The following details are called for in the description of marks and scars, etc. , on the person of the recruit : (a) In the case of scars : (1) Their form or shape rectilinear, curvilinear, undulating, oval, circular, oblong, square, V-shaped, L-shaped, T-shaped, etc. ; (2) their inclination- horizontal, oblique, vertical; if curved, the direction of the concavity; (3) their approximate size in inches; (4) their character recent, faint, conspicuous, purple, puckered, or any other noteworthy feature; (5) their cause, if known cuts, boils, burns, etc. (b) When scars are small and numerous, a description of one may be given, followed by the words ' ' and many others ; " or the record may stand "numerous small scars." 60 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. (c) In the case of moles their approximate size in fractional parts of an inch, and whether raised, flat, hairy, or hairless. When too small for ordinary measurement, however, the entry P. m. for pinhead mole will be sufficient. (d) In the case of birthmarks, their approximate size, shape, color, and other noteworthy features should be recorded. (e) Tattoo marks should invariably be noted, and in their description words should be designated as such, and letters and numerals should be legibly recorded. Appropriate details of costume, posture, relationship to other devices, etc., should be given in the case of tattooed representations of men and women e. g., Irishman in knee breeches, swallow-tail coat and high hat, pipe in hatband, dancing, twirling shillalah i n right hand. Boy astride of spread eagle, U. S. flag in uplifted left hand, words "Young America" below. In the case of devices composed of two or more figures the component figures should be fully described. (/) When the tattoed design is indecent or obscene it is a cause for rejection, but the applicant should be given an oppor- tunity to alter the design, in which event he may, if otherwise qualified, be accepted. (g) Amputations and losses of parts of fingers and toes should be noted, specifying with care the particular member injured and how much of it is gone. 208. The following abbreviations are authorized, and will be understood in the sense indicated, viz : R. h. m. % for raised hairy mole % i ricn * n diameter. R. s. m. ~% for raised smooth (hairless) mole ]/$ inch in diameter. F. h. m. % for flat hairy mole % inch in diameter. F. s. m. 3/4 for flat smooth mole % inch in diameter. P. m. for all moles ^ inch in diameter or less. L. s. 1 " for linear scar 1 inch long. 0. d. s. 2 " x % " for oval depressed scar 2 by % inch. C. p. s. % " d. for circular pitted scar % inch in diameter. V. 1 " x % " for vaccination scar 1 x % inch. Var. for varicocele or varicose veins. 209. (a) When the record of marks is completed, the color of hair and eyes should be recorded. Between the extremes of MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 61 flax-colored and black hair all shades of brown are found. The scale may be given as follows : Flax-color. Dark brown. Light brown. Black. Of red hair as follu\\ - : Of gray hair, as follows: Brick n-il. Dark gray. Sandy red. Light gray, approaching white. Auburn (reddish brown). Iron gray (mixed). (b) In determining the color of the eyes, medical and recruit- ing officers will make use of the standard eye colors issued by the Surgeon General. The number of the standard eye color which most nearly corresponds with the eyes under examina- tion will be recorded, as brown 1st, 2d, etc. ; blue 7th, 8th, etc. Note should also be made if the color is not the same in both eyes ; if there is any peculiarity of pigmentation, as the presence of black or red spots in the general color ; and also if there is any deviation from the normal circular form of the pupils. 210. As the height is relied upon as a basis in comparing the cards of recruits with the classified descriptions of former soldiers, and as this measurement may to a considerable degree be affected by deception on the part of the subject, great care in ascertaining it is specially enjoined. 211. In the lower left-hand corner of the card will be noted the station where it is prepared and the date of preparation. 212. The entries on the cards will be made with durable black ink, and not with copying ink. 213. Outline-figure cards are required also for soldiers dis- charged dishonorably or without honor. This record will be made from an examination of the man immediately prior to dis- charge (unless the discharge is followed by a period of confine- ment at a military post) ; it will show the date and place of enlistment as in the case of recruit cards, and will cite the order for the discharge and the date upon which it is to take effect. When the dishonorable discharge is followed by a period of confinement at a military post, the card should be prepared about two weeks prior to the release of the prisoner ; and in addition to the data above required, note should be 62 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. made of the probable date of release. The card in these cases will immediately upon completion be forwarded to the Sur- geon General. No letter of transmittal is required. ARTIFICIAL LIMBS. 214. Application for an artificial limb or for its commuted value should be made "by the claimant direct to the Surgeon General, War Department, Washington, D. C. BLANK FORMS, (See A. R. 1552.) 215.

GENEVA CONVENTION. 216. I. The convention between the United States, Baden, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Hesse, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Prussia, Wurtemberg, Sweden, Greece, Great Britain, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Turkey, Bavaria, Aus- tria, Russia, Persia, Roumania, Salvador, Montenegro, Servia, 64 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. Bolivia, Chili, Argentine Republic, Peru, and Japan ; with addi- tional articles : For the amelioration of the wounded in armies in the field; concluded August 22, 1864; acceded to by the President March 1, 1882; accession concurred in by the Senate March 16, 1882 ; proclaimed as to the original convention, but with reserve as to the additional articles, July 26, 1882; com- monly known as the Geneva Convention, is as follows : ORIGINAL CONVENTION. ARTICLE I. Ambulances and military hospitals shall be ac- knowledged to be neuter, and as such, shall be protected and respected by belligerents so long as any sick or wounded may be therein. Such neutrality shall cease if the ambulances or hospitals should be held by a military force. ART. II. Persons employed in hospitals and ambulances, com- prising the staff for superintendence, medical service, adminis- tration, transport of wounded, as well as chaplains, shall par- ticipate in the benefit of neutrality, whilst so employed, and so long as there remain any wounded to bring in or to succor. ART. III. The persons designated in the preceding article may, even after occupation by the enemy, continue to fulfill their duties in the hospital or ambulance which they serve, or may withdraw in order to rejoin the corps to which they belong. Under such circumstances, when these persons shall cease from their functions, they shall be delivered by the occupying army to the outposts of the enemy. ART. IV. As the equipment of military hospitals remains subject to the laws of war, persons attached to such hospitals can not, in withdrawing, carry away any articles but such as are their private property. Under the same circumstances an ambulance shall; on the contrary, retain its equipment. ART. V. Inhabitants of the country who may bring help to the wounded shall be respected, and shall remain free. The generals of the belligerent powers shall make it their care to inform the inhabitants of the appeal addressed to their human- ity, and of the neutrality which will be the consequence of it. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 65 Any wounded man entertained and taken care of in a house shall be considered as a protection thereto. Any inhabitant who shall have entertained wounded men in his house shall be exempted from the quartering of troops, as well as from a part of the contributions of war which may be imposed. ART. VI. Wounded or sick soldiers shall be entertained and taken care of, to whatever nation they may belong. Commanders in chief shall have the power to deliver imme- diately to the outposts of the enemy soldiers who have been wounded in an engagement, when circumstances permit this to be done, and with the consent of both parties. Those who are recognized, after their wounds are healed, as incapable of serving, shall be sent back to their country. The others may also be sent back, on condition of not again bearing arms during the continuance of the war. Evacuations, together with the persons under whose direc- tions they take place, shall be protected by an absolute neu- trality. ART. VII. A distinctive and uniform flag shall be adopted for hospitals, ambulances, and evacuations. It must, on every occasion, be accompanied by the national flag. An arm badge (brassard) shall also be allowed for individuals neutralized, but the delivery thereof shall be left to military authority. The flag and the arm badge shall bear a red cross on a white ground. ART. VIII. The details of execution of the present conven- tion shall be regulated by the commanders in chief of belliger- ent armies, according to the instructions of their respective governments, and in conformity with the general principles laid down in this convention. ADDITIONAL ARTICLES. ARTICLE I. The persons designated in Article II of the Con- vention shall, after the occupation by the enemy, continue to fulfill their duties, according to their wants, to the sick and wounded in the ambulance or the hospital which they serve. When they request to withdraw, the commander of the occu- pying troops shall fix the time of .departure, which he shall 66 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. only be allowed to delay for a short time in case of military necessity. ART. II. Arrangements will have to be made by the bellig- erent powers to insure to the neutralized person, fallen into the hands of the army of the enemy, the entire enjoyment of his salary. ART. III. Under the conditions provided for in Articles I and IV of the Convention, the name ' ambulance" applies to field hospitals and other temporary establishments, which fol- low the troops on the field of battle to receive the sick and wounded. ART. IV. In conformity with the spirit of Article V of the Convention, and to the reservations contained in the protocol of 1864, it is explained that for the appointment of the charges relative to the quartering of troops, and of the contributions of war, account only shall be taken in an equitable manner of the charitable zeal displayed by the inhabitants. ART. V. In addition to Article VI of the Convention, it is stipulated that, with the reservation of officers whose detention might be important to the fate of arms and within the limits fixed by the second paragraph of that article, the wounded fallen into the hands of the enemy shall be sent back to their country, after they are cured, or sooner if possible, on condi- tion, nevertheless, of not again bearing arms during the con- tinuance of the war. [Articles concerning the Marine.] ART. VI. The boats which, at their own risk and peril, dur- ing and after an engagement pick up the shipwrecked or wounded, or which having picked them up, convey them on board a neutral or hospital ship, shall enjoy, until the accom- plishment of their mission, the character of neutrality, as far as the circumstances of the engagement and the position of the ships engaged will permit. The appreciation of these circumstances is intrusted to the humanity of all the combatants. The wrecked and wounded thus picked up and saved must not serve again during the continuance of the war. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 67 ART. VII. The religious, medical, and hospital staff of any captured vessel are declared neutral, and, on leaving the ship, may remove the articles and surgical instruments which are their private property. ART. VIII. The staff designated in the preceding article must continue to fulfill their functions in the captured ship, assist- ing in the removal of the wounded made by the victorious party ; they will then be at liberty to return to their country, in conformity with the second paragraph of the first addi- tional article. The stipulations of the second additional article are appli- cable to the pay and allowance of the staff. ART. IX. The military hospital ships remain under martial law in all that concerns their stores ; they become the property of the captor, but the latter must not divert them from their special appropriation during the continuance of the war. ART. X. Any merchant ship, to whatever nation she may belong, charged exclusively with removal of sick and wounded, is protected by neutrality ; but the mere fact, noted on the ship's books, of the vessel having been visited by an enemy's cruiser, renders the sick and wounded incapable of serving during the continuance of the war. The cruiser shall even have the right of putting on board an officer in order to accompany the con- voy, and thus verify the good faith of the operation. If the merchant ship also carries a cargo, her neutrality will still protect it, provided that such cargo is not of a nature to be confiscated by the belligerents. The belligerents retain the right to interdict neutralized ves- sels from all communication, and from any course which they may deem prejudicial to the secrecy of their operations. In urgent cases special conventions may be entered into between commanders in chief, in order to neutralize temporarily and in a special manner the vessels intended for the removal of the sick and wounded. ART. XI. Wounded or sick sailors and soldiers, when em- barked, to whatever nation they may belong, shall be protected and taken care of by their captors. 68 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. Their return to their own country is subject to the provisions of Article VI of the Convention, and of the additional Article V. ART. XII. The distinctive flag to be used with the national flag, in order to indicate any vessel or boat which may claim the benefits of neutrality, in virtue of the principles of this Convention, is a white flag with a red cross. The belligerents may exercise in this respect any mode of verification which they may deem necessary. Military hospital ships shall be distinguished by being painted white outside, with green strake. ART. XIII. The hospital ships which are equipped at the expense of the aid societies, recognized by the governments signing this Convention,' and which are furnished with a com- mission emanating from the sovereign, who shall have given express authority for their being fitted out, and with a certifi- cate from the proper naval authority that they have been placed under his control during their fitting out and on their final departure, and that they were then appropriated solely to the purpose of their mission, shall be considered neutral, as well as the whole of their staff. They shall be recognized and pro- tected by the belligerents. They shall make themselves known by hoisting, together with their national flag, the white flag with a red cross. The distinctive mark of their staff, while performing their duties, shall be an armlet of the same colors. The outer painting of these hospital ships shall be white, with red strake. These ships shall bear aid and assistance to the wounded and wrecked belligerents, without distinction of nationality. They must take care not to interfere in any way with the movements of the combatants. During and after the battle they must do their duty at their own risk and peril. The belligerents shall have the right of controlling and visit- ing them ; they will be at liberty to refuse their assistance, to order them to depart, and to detain them if the exigencies of the case require such a step. The wounded and wrecked picked up by these ships can not be reclaimed by either of the combatants, and they will be required not to serve during the continuance of the war. MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 69 ART. XIV. In naval wars any strong presumption that either belligerent takes advantage of the benefits of neutrality, with any other view than the interest of the sick and wounded, gives to the other belligerent, until proof to the contrary, the right of suspending the Convention, as regards such belligerent. Should this presumption become a certainty, notice may be given to such belligerent that the Convention is suspended with regard to him during the whole continuance of the war. ART. XV. The present Act shall be drawn up in a single original copy, which shall be deposited in the archives of the Swiss Confederation. The additional articles have been acceded to by the United States, and signed on behalf of Great Britain, Austria, Baden, Bavaria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Netherlands, North Oer- inany, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and Wur- temberg, but will not acquire full force and effect as an inter- national treaty until the exchange of the ratifications thereof between the several contracting states shall have been effected. 217.
