geons for promotion. And no one shall be so appointed or promoted 
until so examined and found qualified. 
68. The board will scrutinize rigidly the moral habits, professional 
acquirements, and physical qualifications of the candidates, and report

REGULATIONS FOR THE 
for appointment 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; 
agreeably whereto, If vacancies happen within two years thereafter, they 
will receive appointments and take rank in the medical corps.

pointed, which recommendation the commanding officer shall forward to 
the Adjutant and Inspector General of the Army, with his remarks there- 
on, and with the remarks of the company commander. 
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, from persons seeking to be enlisted for hospital 
stewards, may be addressed to the Surgeon General. 
75. The commanding officer may re-enlist a hospital steward at the 
expiration of his term of service, on the recommendation of the medical 
officer. 
76. No soldier, or citizen,, will be recommended for appointment who 
is not known to be temperate, honest, and in every way reliable, as well 
as sufficiently intelligent, and skilled in pharmacy, for the proper dis- 
charge of the responsible duties likely to be devolved upon him. Until 
this is known, he will be appointed an acting steward by the medical offi- 
cer, with the approval of the commanding officer, and will be entitled to 
the pay and allowances of hospital steward,

stationed in places whence no post return is rmfde to the Adjutant Gene- 
ral's office, or when on furlough, will, at the imd of every month, report

15 
new assignment to duty, or change of station, ordered in their case, 
noting carefully the number, date, and source of the order directing the 
same. ■ They will likewise report monthly, when on 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 same with 
reference tcfnospital stewards 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 be approved by the 
reviewing officer, will not be carried into effect until the case has been 
referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In these cases of re- 
duction, the application of the man for discharge from service, though 
not recognized as of right, will generally 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 the ranks. 
79. As the. hospital stewards, appointed 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 correct descriptive lists of such stewards, 
to accompany them in case of transfer; as, also, that their final state- 
• merits and certificates of discharge are accurately made out, when they 
are at length discharged from service. 16

The spaces in the Prescription Book are to be filled up with the prescriptions at length, the times of administering the medicines, 
and the quantities to be.given at each time. The diet of the patients will be divided into full, half, and low, to be designated in the Diet 
Book by the letters F, H and L; and in order that the steward may have precise instructions for delivering the hospital stores, &c., the 
surgeon will, from time to time, insert in the Diet Book written directions of the quantity of each article In his store room which he 
may think necessary to each degree of diet. To each ten patients, for example, on low diet, a certain quantity of tea, sugar, &c. To 
each ten on half diet, a certain quantity of rice, milk, &c. These proportions will soon become familiar to the steward, who has only 
to refer to the letters in the Diet Book, to ascertain the whole quantity of any article to be delivered for the day, as well as the quantity 
for each ward. When any liquor is directed, or any other article-.not contained in these general instructions of the Surgeon, the precise 
quantity directed for each patient will be noted in the Diet Book. The Diet Tables are to be filled up daily from the Diet Bobk, and 
hung up in each ward of a general hospital.

• SOYER'S DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING IN CAMP, 
L-Coffee for fifty men, one pint each. 
* 
. O * 
Put 6 gallons water into a suitable vessel (or divide if necessary), on. 
the fire; when boiling, add 1^ lbs. ground coffee; nflx well with a spoon ; 
leave on the fire a few minutes longer; take it -off, and pour in I of a 
gallon cold water; let it stand till the dregs subside, say from 5 to 10 
minutes; then pour off, and add 3 lbs. sugah If-milk is used, put in 6 
pints, and diminish the water by that amount. 
Hr-f RESH BEEF SOUP FOR FIFTY MEN- 
Take 40 lbs. beef; cut into pieces of about | lb. each; 7<J gallons wa- 
ter ; 4 lbs. mixed vegetables ; 5 small tablespoonfuls salt; 1 small table- 
spoonful ground pepper; some cold bread, crackers, or 1^ lbs. rice, to 
thicken; place on the fire; let it come to a boil; then simmer for 3 hours/ 
Skim off the fat and serve, 
> • 
III.-Stew for fifty men. 
Cut 25 lbs. fresh beef in pieces of about 5 Ib.^each, and with 9 quarts 
of water put into the boiler; add 5 tablespoonfuls of salt^<*w.of pepper, 
3J lbs. onions, cut in slices, and 10 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced; stir 
well, and let it boil for 20 or 30 minutes; then add | lb. flour previously 
mixed with water; mix well together, and with a moderate heat simmer 
for about two hours. Mutton, veal or pork can be stewed in a similar 
manner, but will take half an hour less cooking. A pound of rice or 
plain dumplings may be added with great advantage. 
IV>-Suet dumplings. 
Take 10 lbs. flour, 15 teaspoonfuls of salt, 7 of ground pepper, 7 lbs. 
chopped fat pork or suet, 5 pints water; mix well together; divide into 72 
REGULATIONS FOR THE 
about 150 pieces; which roll in flour, and boi} with meat for 20 or 30 
minutes. If no fat or suet can be obtained, take the same ingredients, 
adding a little more water, and boil about 10 minutes. Serve with the 
meat. 
V.-TO FRY MEAT. 
Place your pan on the fire for a minute or so; wipe it clean; - when the 
pan is hot, put in either fat of butter (fat from salt meat is preferable); 
then add the meat you are going to cook; turn it several times, to have 
it equally done; season to each pound a small teaspoonful of salt and a 
quarter of pepper. A few onions in the remaining fat, with the additipn 
of a little flour, a quarter pint of water, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, or 
a few chopped pickles, will be very relishing. 
VI.-TO COOK SALT BEEF OR PORK. 
Put the meat, cut in pieces of from 3 to 4 lbs., to soak the night be- 
fore ; in the myrning wash in fresh water, and squeeze well with thb 
hands to extract the salt; after which, put in your kettle with a pint of 
water to each pound, and boil from 2 to 3 hours. 
VII.--Salt beef or pork, with mashed beans, for fifty men. 
Put in two vessels 18| lbs. meat each; divide 12 lbs. beans in two pud- 
ding cloths, loosely tied: putting to boil at the same time as your meat, 
in sufficient water; let all boil gently for two hours; take out the meat 
and beans; put all the meat into one boiler, and remove the liquor from 
the other; into which turn out the beans; add to them one teaspoonful 
of pepper, half pound of fat, and with the wooden spatular mash the 
beans, and serve with the meat. Three sliced onions fried and added im- 
. -it 
prove the dish. 
[Note.-In cooking all kinds of meat, be careful to preserve the grease, 
which can be easily done by putting the liquor in which it is boiled, by 
till it cools; then skim off and place in a clean covered vessel. It is an 
excellent substitute for butter; is useful for cooking purposes, and will 
burn in a common lamp or tin plate with a piece of old cotton twisted 
up for a wick.] -Til ED I CAL DEPARTMENT.

SOYER'S DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING IN HOSPITAL. 
I.-Mutton stewed and soup for one hundred men.

plain mixed vegetables, 9 lbs. pearl barley or rice (or 4^ lbs. each), 1J lbs. 
salt, 14 lbs. flour, 1 oz. pepper. Put all the ingredients, except the flour, 
into the pan; set it on the fire, and when beginning to boil, diminish.the 
heat, and simmer gently for two hours and ;?half; take the meat out and 
keep warm; add to the soup your flour, which you have mixed with 
enough water to form a light batter; -stir well together with a large spoon; 
boil another half hour; skim off the»fat, and sefve the meat and soup 
separate. The soup should be stirred occasionally while*making, to pre- 
vent burning or sticking. 
II.-Beef soup. 
Proceed the same as for mutton, only leave the meat in till serving, as 
it takes longer to cook than mutton. The pieces are not to be above 4 or 
5 lbs. weight each. 
III.-Bhef tea, six pints. 
Cut three pounds lean beef into pieces the size of walnuts, and break 
up the bones (if any); put it into a convenient sized kettle, with ^-lb. 
mixed vegetables (onions, celery, turnips, carrots, or one or two of these, 
if all are not to be obtained), 1 oz. salt, a little pepper, 2 oz. butter, £.pint 
of water. Set it on a sharp fire for 15 jninutes, stirring occasionally, till 
it forms a rather thick gravy at the bottom, but not brown; then add 
7 pints of hot water; simmer gently fur an hour. Skim off all the fat, 
strain through a sieve and serve. 74 
REGULATIONS FOR THE 
IV.-Thick beef tea. 
Dissolve a teaspoonful of arrow-root in a gill of water, and pour it into 
the beef tea twenty minutes before passing through the sieve, or add i oz. 
gelatine to the above quantity of beef tea, when cooking. 
Mutton and veal will make good tea, by proceeding the same as above. 
* 
V.-Essence of beef. m 
Take 1 lb. lean beef; cut fine; put it into a porter bottle with a teacup 
of water, A teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, and 6 grains allspice; cork 
loosely, and place in a saucepan of cold water; then with a gentle heat 
let it simmer till sufficient quantity of the essence is obtained. Serve 
either warm or cold. 
VI.-Chicken broth. 
Put in a stew-pan a fowl, 3 pints ^ater, 2 teaspoonfuls of rice, 1 of salt,, 
a little pepper and a small onion, or two ounces of mixed vegetables; boil 
the whole gently for one hour (if an old fowl, simmer for two hours, add- 
ing one pint more water). Skim off the fat and serve. 
A light mutton broth may be made in the same way, taking pounds 
mutton-neck if convenient. 
VII.-Plain boiled rice. 
Put 2 quarts water in a stew'-pan with a teaspoonful of salt; when boil- 
ing, add to it § pound rice, well washed; ^oil for ten minutes; drain off 
the water and slightly grease the pan with butter; put the rice back" and 
let it swell slowly for about twenty minutes, near the fire. * Each grain 
will then swell up, and be well separated. Flavor with nutmeg or cin- 
namon, and sweeten to taste. 
VIII.-Sago jelly. 
Put in a pan with 3 pints water, 3 oz. sago, oz. sugar, half a lemon 
peel, cut very thin, i teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, or a small stick 
of the ..same, and a little salt; boil about 15 minutes, stirring constantly; 
hen add a little port, sherry or madeira wine, as the case will admit. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

Put in.a pan 4 oz. arrow-roo^ 3 oz. sugar, the peel of half a lemon, 
4 teaspoonful of salt, 2A pints of milk; set it on the ire; stir gently; 
boil for ten minutes, and serve.

When short of milk, use half water-half'an ounce of butter is an 
improvement. • 
X-Arrow-root water. 
Put in a pan 3 oz. arrow-root, 2 oz. white sugar, the peel of a lemon, 
^-teaspoonful of salt, and 4 pints water; mix well, set on the fire, and

when boiling; add 2 oz. white sugar, the rind of half a lemon, thinly 
peeled; boil gently for two hours, and serve, either strained or with the 1 
barley left in. 
XIII.-Crimean lemonade. 
• Put in a basin 2 tablespoonfuls of white or brown sugar, £ a table- 
spoonful of lime juice; mix well together, and add one pint of water. 
XIV.-Citric acid lemonade.

REGULATIONS FOR THE MEDIC AL.^DEPARTMENT. 
*XV.-Toast and water. 
Cut a piece of crusty bread about 4 lb.; toast gently and uniformly to 
a light yellow color; then place near the fire, and when of a good brown 
chocolate, put in a pitcher;, pour on it 3 pints boiling water; cover the 
pitcher, and wheji cold, strain-it is then ready for use. Never leave the 
toast in, as it causes fermentation in a short time. 
• A piece of apple, slowly toasted till it gets quite black, and added to 
the above, makes a very refreshing drink.
