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

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.

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.

(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

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

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.

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.
(c) Yearly. (1) Returns of medical property; (2) estimates
for repairs to hospitals and hospital steward's quarters.
(d) Occasional. (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. <! duty merely, and capable of performing their strictly
military duties, need not be so borne. A case prescribed for,
but not excused from duty, will not ordinarily be entered on
the register; but when it is of such a character as to have a
probable bearing on the subsequent medical history of the
individual, or when from the exigencies of the service the
officer or soldier continues to perform his duties, notwith-
standing his manifest disability, it should be recorded on the
register with a statement to that effect. When the status of
an officer or soldier absent from his post on ordinary leave or
furlough becomes changed to absence on account of sickness,
his case should be entered on the register.
160. The cases of retired officers and enlisted men, and of
civilians, including general prisoners, taken into hospital for
treatment, should be entered on the register. When the
status of a soldier while sick in hospital becomes changed to
civilian, the case of the soldier should be closed and a new
entry made for the civilian.
161. When a patient absent sick from his command is ad-
mitted to hospital for treatment, the surgeon in charge of the
44 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
hospital should notify the surgeon on whose register the patient
is borne, and request a formal transfer of the case. When tho
patient leaves the said hospital as cured, transferred, etc.,
the record of his case should be so completed ; but if he leave
the hospital uncured, or to resume a status of absent sick, the
surgeon in charge of the hospital should send a transfer slip
to the surgeon of the command to which the patient belongs,
who should take the case up on his register.
162. A book of transfer slips is furnished by the Surgeon
General to meet the necessities of moving commands, which,
passing near a post, may leave their sick and wounded for
treatment. It should be used also when cases are sent from
one post or hospital to another, by change of station of com-
pany, for the sake of better accommodations, for benefit of
climate, or for observation by the chief surgeon. The original
slip should contain the patient's name, military description,
date of admission to sick report, name of disease or injury,
and such details of the case as will probably be of value to the
receiving officer. It will be signed by the medical officer who
makes the transfer, and will be forwarded with the patient.
On the reverse of the slip the receiving officer will note the
admission of the patient into hospital; and after carefully
recording the information thereon in the register, he will for-
ward the slip with the next report of sick and wounded to the
Surgeon General. In transfers to the Government Hospital
for the Insane a slip containing a copy of the certificate that
accompanied the soldier should be sent to the Surgeon General.
The duplicate of the transfer slips will be left in the book and
will form a part of the retained records of the hospital or
command from which the soldiers were sent.
FIELD REGISTER.
163. For detached commands temporarily in the field on
scouting expeditions, practice marches, or in summer camps,
the blank form of "Report of Completed Cases, " sheet 2, Form
. No. 25, will be used as the "Field Register," the headings of
the sheets being made to correspond to their extemporized use.
From the entries on this Field Register the report of sick and
MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 45
wounded will be made; and when all the cases have been
completed by transfer to the stations to which the troops of
the field command are ultimately assigned, and have been
so reported on the final report of sick and wounded from the
said field command, the Field Register will be forwarded to
the Surgeon General by the surgeon of the command, if he
has transferred his cases by slips, or by the surgeon of the
receiving station if the Field Register has been turned over
to him to effect the transfer of the uncompleted cases to the
permanent register of his post.
164. In time of war, medical officers on duty with such
organizations as battalions, regiments, batteries, etc., will
enter their cases in a permanent register, and will make up
their report of sick and wounded in accordance with regula-
tions. Transfer for treatment or better accommodation to
the division, brigade, or other field hospital of the command
will be regarded as completing a case on the battalion or
regimental register ; but the sending a man for transportation
merely will not be considered in the light of a transfer. In
formal transfers to the field hospital slips need not be used,
as the transfer should be made personally by a medical officer
or noncommissioned officer, who should see that the execu-
tive officer of the hospital is furnished with all needful infor-
mation for his record of the case.
165. When those who are unable to march are to be sent
from the command to some hospital other than the division,
brigade, or other field hospital, the surgeon of the command
will enter on his register the names, etc. , of those who are to
be sent away ; and when he has furnished a copy of this list to
the officer who is to take charge of the sick on their journey,
he will complete their cases on his register by transfer en route
to the hospital which is understood to be their destination.
166. To prepare a list of wounded (see A. R. 1466), the
medical officer will enter on his register the names of all
those of the command who are officially known to him as hav-
ing been killed or wounded. As a member of the battalion or
regimental staff the medical officer cooperates with company
commanders in providing the materials for the field report of
46 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
killed, wounded, and missing sent by the commanding officer
to the Adjutant General as the official record of the losses.
The information gathered for this purpose at the dressing sta-
tions in the field, and subsequently by inspection of the wards
and registers of the field hospitals, will enable him to perfect
his own register by completing thereon by transfer to the divi-
sion, brigade, or other field hospital all those cases that have
already been taken up on the register of the latter, and retain-
ing as uncompleted only those that remain under his personal
care with the regiment or detachment. From this register
thus perfected the list of wounded above mentioned will be
prepared on sheets of the blank form of report of completed
cases, the headings of which will be altered to correspond to this
extemporized use of the sheets. When two or more sheets are
required to perfect the report they should be stitched together
through the binding space before forwarding.
167. The officer in charge of the records of a division, bri-
gade, or other field hospital will enter in a permanent regis-
ter the cases that are received by transfer from the medical
officers of the command; and from the entries thereon the
report of sick and wounded will be made out in accordance
with regulations. Cases will be considered completed, so far
as the register of this hospital is concerned, when the patients
are transferred to any other hospital.
168. In all cases of transfer the medical officer in charge of
the train of sick and wounded should, if possible, be provided
with a nominal list of the patients intrusted to his care. He
should verify this list personally, or, if the train be large, by
his subordinates ; and when arrived at his destination should
turn it over to the * medical officer of the receiving hospital.
Should any of his cases be lost en route by death, capture,
etc., he will note the facts on the list of transfers against
each case so lost and report these facts and names to the chief
surgeon and the Surgeon General.
169. If the military conditions are such that it is impossible
for the officer in charge of the records of the division, brigade,
or other field hospital to furnish a list of the sick and wounded
that are to be transferred, the medical officer in charge of the
MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEI^RSM^*:^^ 47
train should verify the number of men turned over to him, and
have the nominal list made out while en route. Should he be
unable to accomplish this, the names of those who seem to be
in danger of death should be taken so as to be able, if the
events should require it, to make report to the chief surgeon
and the Surgeon General.
170. The senior surgeon in charge of men sent direct from
military commands in the field (see paragraph 165) , will report
the losses that occur during the period of his responsibility ; so,
also, when patients are left behind by the advance or retreat of
a division, brigade, or other field hospital the senior surgeon
left with them will take measures, if he has not been furnished
with a nominal list, for the identification of his patients, for
their subsequent transfer, and for the notification of losses by
death or other causes.
REPORT OF SICK AND WOUNDED.
171. The report of sick and wounded will be made on Form
No. 25, sheets 1 and 2. If a hospital is opened or closed during
the month the orders to this effect should be stated on the report.
172. If there has been no case on gick report, either remain-
in- from last report or admitted during the month, the report
of sick and wounded will nevertheless be forwarded. It will
give the name and strength of the command, etc. , with such
remarks as the circumstances may suggest as of interest to the
chief surgeon or the Surgeon General.
173. In case of the occurrence of smallpox, and the vaccina-
tion of the command, the results of the vaccination will be
given in a special report on the measures taken for the sup-
pression of the disease ; or they may be entered in the column
of remarks on the left of the first page of the report of sick
and wounded in connection with the cases of vaccinia that
have been treated.
174. Medical officers will keep in the Medical History of the
Post a record of births and marriages, and of those deaths the
record of which has not been provided for elsewhere, and will
report concerning them in the column on the right. In cases
of birth, there should be entered the date, the sex, and name of
the child, and the name, rank, etc. , of the father, maiden name
48 MANUAL, FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
of the mother, and whether this child is the first or second,
etc., resulting from the marriage. In cases of marriage, the
date and names should be recorded with the rank or occupa-
tion of the man and the age and birthplace of the woman. In
cases of death, the date and cause, together with the name,
sex, and age of the individual.

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

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(><l, sober, free from disease, and of good
character and habits.
NOTE. The leading characteristics of a good constitution are thus enumerated
by Triplet : "A tolerably just proportion between the different parts of tin; trunk
and members ; a well-shaped head, thick hair, a countenance expressive of health,
with a lively eye ; skin not too white, lips red, teeth white and in good condition ;
voice strong, skin firm, chest well formed, belly lank, parts of generation well
developed, limbs muscular, feet arched and of moderate length ; hands large. The
gait should be sprightly and springy, speech prompt and clear, and manner cheer-
ful. All lank, slight, puny men, with contracted figures, whose development is, as
it were, arrested, should be set aside. The reverse of the characteristics of a good
constitution will indicate infirm health or a weakly habit of body ; loose, flabby,
white skin ; long, cylindrical neck ; long, flat feet ; very fair complexion ; fine hair ;
wan, sallow countenance," etc.
184. The room in which the examination is conducted
should be well lighted and large enough for the men to exer-
cise in walking, running, and jumping, as every organ directly
concerned in locomotion should be subjected to inspection.
Only those persons who are absolutely required should be
present at the examination.
54 MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
185. The person of the recruit should be washed with soap
and water before lie is presented for inspection. It is not,
however, believed to be good policy to enlist men who, though
able-bodied and intelligent, appear at recruiting stations in
ragged or filthy dress, as the chances are such men are tramps
and vagabonds and will not make good soldiers. Men who,
though attired in clean and respectable clothing, are found to
be filthy in their person, should be promptly rejected for like
1 86. Thoroughness in the preliminary examination is assured
by a methodical inquiry into the family and personal history of
the applicant, whose replies should be recorded at the time.
For this purpose a printed form is furnished by the Adjutant
General (form for the physical examination of a recruit).
The form also serves as evidence, should the recruit allege un-
fitness from a defect that is feigned, or be subsequently found
unfitted for duty on account of one which has been concealed.
187. The questions prescribed in this form are intended
simply as the guide to a careful and searching examination
into the physical history of the apjriicant for enlistment. If
his replies suggest the existence of any infirmity or defect,
special inquiry should be made concerning it, in order that the
most complete information may be elicited. The questions,
and any others necessary to develop his fitness for the duties
of a soldier, should be asked and the man's replies recorded,
by the recruiting officer, before he is stripped, after which the
examination is proceeded with.
188. If there is a medical officer he will make and record
the physical examination. Otherwise, the recruiting officer
will perform this duty. In the latter event the form will
remain with or follow the recruit until he has undergone
examination by a medical officer or a civilian physician, who
will note the same upon the front fold. It will then be for-
warded without delay to the Surgeon General, except as pro-
vided in paragraphs 844 and 847, A. R. , and in the following
paragraphs :
MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 55
189. If the civilian physician at a recruiting station finds a
recruit to be disqualified for the service, the examination form,
with a certificate of disability (A. R. 154), signed by the phy-
sician and the recruiting officer, will be forwarded by the
recruiting officer direct to the Adjutant General of the Army,
with full report of the facts, and the officer's opinion as to
whether or not fraud was practiced by the recruit to secure
his enlistment.
190. Each peculiarity or deviation from the normal standard
is to be noted on the form for the physical examination of a
recruit.
191. If a careful inspection is made and a defect is noted,
which is not considered by the officer making the examination
to be disqualif ying, he is relieved from responsibility ; but if
he passes a recruit who has a serious defect, which is discerni-
ble by an ordinary layman, and enlists the man without noting
the defect upon the examination form and the enlistment paper,
it evidences neglect in the examination.
192. Before recruits leave the station for the rendezvous or
post they should be carefully reexamined and a statement to
that effect made 011 the form, with a note descriptive of any
defect which may have been discovered or contracted since
the enlistment.
193. A completed examination form is required for file in
the office of the Surgeon General in the case of every soldier
who completes enlistment or reenlistment by taking the oath
(including scouts and Indians) . In the case of applicants who
do not take the oath it may be destroyed after it has served its
purpose in the conduct of the examination.
194. As Indian scouts are now enlisted for three years they
will undergo the same physical examination as other enlisted
men. The examination form will be used for this purpose,
and, when filled up and completed, will be forwarded to the
Surgeon General.

196. It is not necessary that the applicant should conform
exactly to the figures indicated above, a variation of a few
pounds from either side of the standard in the minimum and
maximum weights and of a fraction of an inch in chest meas-
urement being permissible if the applicant is otherwise in
good health and desirable as a recruit. The table is given to
show what is regarded as a fair proportion, but the weight must
be at least 125 pounds, except for cavalry, or when less is espe-
cially authorized by the Adjutant General.
EXAMINATION OF CADETS AND CADET CANDIDATES.
197. A deviation from the table of physical proportions may
be made in the examination of candidates for admission to
the United States Military Academy, and for members of the
graduating class, whenever this is deemed necessary by the
Medical Examining Board.
198. Medical officers will be guided by the following instruc-
tions in examining candidates for admission to the United
States Military Academy :
(a) Hearing must be normal in both ears.
MANUAL FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
(b) Vision, as determined by the official test types, must not
fall below ^f in either eye, and not below f J, unless it can be
made normal by proper glasses.
(c) Color-blindness is not a cause for rejection, but must be
noted upon the form for physical examination, and the appli-
cant so informed.
(d) Accepted candidates, if between seventeen and eighteen
years of age, should not fall below five feet one inch in height
and one hundred pounds weight; if between eighteen and
nineteen years, five feet two inches in height and one hundred
and five pounds in weight; if over nineteen and less than
twenty years of age, five feet three inches in height, and one
hundred and ten pounds in weight.
(e) The weight, and chest measurement at expiration, should
not fall materially below the following standard, which, how-
ever, is not to be considered as absolute, and should not be
strictly adhered to in the case of active boys who are less than
18 years of age :

(/) 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.

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.

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.

essential^' the same, but they may be readily distinguished by No. 1 being a nar-

CONTENTS OF POCKET CASE, POST.
This name will be used when reference is made to the red morocco pocket case
with chamois cover issued during the past few years for post use.
The list of contents is the same as that of the aseptic pocket case, but the aneurism
and exploring needles, knives, and tenaculum are detachable from the two hard-
rubber or ivory handles. Some cases contain a combined needle and fenestrated
artery forceps and a heemostatic forceps; others a plain artery and a dressing forceps.
248.
CONTENTS OF POST-MORTEM CASE.

MANUAL, FOR THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
3. A set of test wools for the detection of color-blindness, consisting of three
larger skeins of "test colors" (one pale green, one rose color, called purple, and
one bright red) ; and one hundred and forty-four small skeins of "confusion colors,"
as follows :
Of pure gray, four shades, two skeins of each.
Of the colors named below, eight shades, one skein of each, all wrapped in a piece
of muslin 1 meter square.

The cases named in the following list, viz, amputating, exsecting, general operat-
ing, and trephining, formed the "personal sot" issued to medical officers prior to
1868. Upon the adoption in the latter year of the personal set until recently issued
individually to medical officers the former cases were transferred to hospitals as post
cases of instruments, and a considerable number are still in use.
