MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 9 31. Assisfnnt Surgeons will obey the orders of their senior surgeon, see that subordinate officers do their duty, and aid in enforcing the regu- lations of the hospital. 3*2. The cooks and nurses are under the orders of the steward. He is responsible for the cleanliness of the wards and kitchens, patients and attendants, and all articles in use. He will ascertain who are present at sunrise and sunset, and tattoo, and report absentees. 33. At surgeon's call the sick then in the companies will be conducted to the hospital by the first sergea'uts, who will each hand to the surgeon, in bis company book, a list of all the sick of the company, on which the surgeon shall state who are to remain or go into the hospital ; who are to return to quarters as sick or convalescent ; what duties the convalescents in quarters are capable of; what cases are feigned; and any other infor- mation in regard to the sick of the company, he may have to communi- cate to the compan}' commander 34.

After surgeon's call, he will make a morning report of the sick to the counnauding officer (Form 15). 03. Every medical officer will report to the Surg;eon General and t© 12 REGULATIONS FOR THE the Medical Director, the date when he arrives at a station, or when ho leaves it, and his orders in the case, stating their nature, number, date and source, and at the end of each month, whenever not at his station, whethei* on service or on leave of absence ; and when on leave of ab- sence, his post-office address for the next month. 54. They will promptly acknowledg-e the receipt of all orders relating to their movements; and in all official communications, when at stations the positions of wliich are not well known, they will state the nearest post-office or well known place. 55. When it is necessary to employ a private physician as medical of- ficer, the Medii^al Director, or if circumstances preclude reference to him, the commanding officer may execute a writfen contract (notifying the Medical Director), conditioned as in Form 16, at a stated compensation, not to exceed $50 a month v/hen the number of officers and men, with authorized laundresses, is 100 or more; $40 when it is from 50 to 100, and $ 30 when it is under 50. 56. But when he is required to abandon his own business, and give his whole time to the public service, the contract may be not to exceed $80 a mouth; and not to exceed $ 100, besides transportation in kind, to be furnished by the Quartermaster's Department, where he is required to accompany troops on marches or transports. But a private physician will not be employed to accompany troops on marches or transports, ex- cept by orders from the War Department, or, in particular and urgent cases, by the order of the officer directing the movement. 57. And when a private physician is required to furnish niediciues, he will be paid in addition from 25 to 50 per cent., to bo determined by the Surgeon General, on the amount allowed by contract. 58. In all cases, a duplicate of the contra'ct, with a particular statement appended, of the circumstances which -make it necessary, will be trans- mitted forthwith to the Surgeon General for approval ; and the command- ing officer for the time being, or the Medical Director, Avill at once discon- tinue it, whenever the necessity for it ceases, or the Surgeon General niay 80 direct. 59. The physician's account of pay due must be sent to the Surgeon General for payment, vouched by the certificate of the commanding offi- cer, that it is correct and agreeable to contract, and that tiie services have been duly rendered. Bi,\t on the frontier or in the field, when it cannot conveniently be submitted to the Surgeon General, the contract having already received his approval, the account may be paid on the order of MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 13 the commandiug- officer, not to exceed the regulated amount, by a Quar- termaster or a medical disbursing officer. 60. Private physicians, employed by contract, will conform to the re- gulations, and accordingly will keep all the records, and make the reports, requisitions, and returns required from medical officers. They will not be granted leave of absence. f)J. When medical attendance is required by officers or enlisted men on service, and the attendance of a medical officer cannot be had, the offi- cer, or if there be no officer, then the enlisted man, may employ a private physician, and a just account therefor will be paid by the Medical Bureau. 62. The account will set out the name of the patient, the date of and charge for each visit, and for medicines. The physician will make a cer- tificate to the account in case of an officer, or affidavit in case of an en- listed man, that the account is correct, and the charges are the customary charges of the place 63. The officer will make his certificate, or the enlisted man his affida- vit, to the correctness of the account, that he was on service at the place, and stating the circumstances preventing him from receiving the services of a medical officer. 64. When the churge is against an officer, he will pay the account if practicable, and transmit it to the Medical Bureau for reimbursement, hi all other cases, the account will be transmitted to the Medical Bureau for settlement. 65. If the charge is against a" deceased officer or enlisted man, the phy- sician will make the affidavit, before required, to the account, and that he has been paid no part of it. 66. No charges for consultation fees will be paid by the Medical Bn- reau; nor will any account for medical attendance or medirines be paid, if the officer or enlisted man be not on .service. 67. A hoard of not less than three medical 'officers will Im> appointed from time to time, by the Secretary of War, to examine applicants for appointment of assistant surgeons in the regular army, and assistant sur- geons for promotion. And no one shall be so appointed or promoted until so examined and found qualified. 6H. Tlie board will scrutinize rigidly the moral hnbits. j)r()fe3sional acquirements, and physical qualifications of the candidates, and report favorabjy, either for appointment or promotion, in no case admitiiug of a reasonable doubt. ' 69 The Secretary of War will designate the appliounta to t)e examined 14 REGULATIONS FOU THK for appointmeut of assistant surgeon.* They must be between 21 and 25 years of age. The board will report their respective merits in the several branches of the examination, and their relative merit from the whole;, agreeablj"^ whereto, if vacancies happen within two years thereafter, they Avill receive appointments and take rank in the medical corps. 70. When an assistant surgeon has served five years, he is subject to be examined for promotion. If he^ decline ^e examination, or be found not qualified by moral habits or professional acquirements, he ceases to be.,a medical ofiicer of the^army. 71. An applicant for appointment failing at one examination, may be allowed a second after two years ; but never a third. 72. The Secretary of War will appoint, on the recommendation of the Surgeon General, from the enlisted men of the army, or cause to be en- ■ listed, as many coilipetent hospital stewards as the service may require. 73. The senior medical ofiicer of a command requiring a steward, may recommend a competent non-commissioned ofiicer or soldier to be ap- pointed, which recommendation the commanding ofiicer shall forward to the Adjutant and Inspector General of the Anny, Avith his remarks there- on, and with the remarks of the company commanded. 74. When no competent enlisted man can be procured, the medical of- ficer will report the fact to the Surgeon General. Applications and testi- monials of competency, irom persons seeking to be enlisted for hospital stewards, may be addressed to the Surgeon General. 75. The commanding ofiicer may re-enlist a hospital steward at the expiration of his terra of service, on the recommendation of the medical ofiicer. ^ 76. No soldier, or citizen, will be recommended for appointment who is not Icnoicn to be temperate, honest, and in every way reliable, as well as sufiiciently intelligent, and skilled in jiharmacy, ibr the proper dis- charge of the responsible duties likely to be devolved upon him. Until this is knotcn, he will be appointed an acting steward by the medical ofii- cer, with the approval of the couimauding ofiicer, and wjll be entitled to the pay and allowances of hospital stCAvard. 77. Hospital stewards, appointed by the Secretary of War, Avheuever stationed in places whence no post return is inadi; to the Adjutant Gene- ral's ofiice, or when on furluugh, will, at the end of every month, report themselves, by letter, to the xVdjutant and Inspector Geneial and Surgeon General, as well as to the Medical Director of the military department in which they may be serving; to each of whom they will also report each MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 15 new assignment to duty, or cbange of station, ordered in their case, noting carefully the number, date, and source of the order directing- the same. They wjll likewise report monthly, when ou furlough, to the me- dical officer in charge of the hospital to -which they are attached. 78. The jurisdiction and authority of courts martial are the s^me with reference to hospital ste\vards as in the cases of other enlisted men. When, however, a hospital steward is sentenced by an inferior court to be re- duced to the ranks, such sentence, though it may bqi^pproved by the" reviewing officer, will ;iot be carried into effect until the case has been referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In these cases of re- duelion, the application of the man for discharge from service, though not recognized as of right, will generaUy be regarded with favor, if his offence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially when he has not been recently promoted from tli(> ranks. 79. Ag thef hospital stewards, api)ointed by the Secretary of War, are permanently attached to the Medical Department, their accounts of pay, clothing, &c., must be kept by the medical officers under whose imme- diate direction they are serving, who are also responsible for certified statements of such accounts, and c{#rcct descriptive lists of such stewards, to accompany them in case of transfer; as, also, that their final state- ments and ceitificates of discharge are accurately made out, when they are at length discharged from service. 16 REGULATIONS FOR THE iStandard Supply Table for General and Post Hospitals.
