CIRCULAR N° 6. 
WAR DEPARTMENT 
SURGEON GENERAL’S 
OFFICE 
1867 (Circular, No. 6.) 
WAR DEPARTMENT, 
SURGEON GENERAL’S OFFICE, 
Washington, D. C., May 9, 1867. 
By authority of the Hon. Secretary of War the subjoined Supply Table is promulgated 
to the Medical Officers of the Army and will be in force from this date as the Standard. 
J. K. BARNES, 
Surgeon General, U. S. Army. 
STANDARD SUPPLY TABLE 
OF THE 
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT 
' OF THE 
UNITED STATES ARMY, 
Authorized May 9, 1867| 
The Standard of medical and hospital supplies for the Army is the Supply Table. It is 
"not the design of the Department to confine medical officers absolutely to that table, either 
in variety or quantity, but to establish a criterion for their guidance in making requisi- 
tions for supplies, leaving individual preferences to be indulged at the discretion of Medi- 
cal Directors or the Surgeon General. Neither is it supposed that the quantities stated in 
the table will always meet the necessities caused by the prevalence of epidemics, or the 
location of troops in unhealthy parts of the country and medical officers who allow their 
supplies to be exhausted through such contingencies, without timely notice of their pros- 
pective needs, will be held to a strict accountability. 2

JOS. K. BAKNES, 
Surgeon General, U. S. Army. 
1. The materials for preparing Chlorinium are a Sulphuric Acid Mixture and a Common Salt Mixture. 
NOTES. 
The Sulphuric Acid Mixture. 
Take of Sulphuric Acid—S. G. 1,845 .....45 parts. 
Water 21 parts. 
Mix them carefully, and when cold put the mixture into strong bottles with accurately ground stoppers—each 
bottle containing sixty-five fluid ounces. 
Half a fluid ounce of this should be used for each package of the Common Salt Mixture. 
The Common Salt Mixture. 
Take of Common Salt, well dried 1800 parts. 
Binoxide of Manganese, containing 72 per cent 1875 parts. 
Grind them together into a fine powder, put the powder up in packages containing about 195 grains each, and 
put 130 of these packages in a pasteboard box to accompany the Sulphuric Acid Mixture. 
Each of these packages requires half a fluid ounce of the Sulphuric Acid Mixture, and yields about 57 cubic 
inches of Chlorine. This quantity, when thus liberated gradually in a space containing about 20,000 times its 
volume of air, is usually borne without inconvenience and is not injurious even in pulmonary diseases. As very 
much depends upon the ventilation of the apartments in which the chlorine is to be used, no absolute rules of 
application can be laid down, except that it should never be used in such quantities as to produce discomfort or 
bronchial irritation. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 
One of the packages of the Common Salt Mixture placed in a saucer or plate and thoroughly mixed with half 
a fluid ounce of the Sulphuric Acid Mixture, is to be placed under every alternate bed at night and allowed to 
remain there three days. Upon the second night the beds which were omitted on the first night should be sup- 
plied in the same way and for the same length of time and the whole process repeated at the end of three days, or 
sooner, according to circumstances. Should the wards be badly ventilated, or contain many sloughing wounds, 
or be subject to epidemic disease, or to low forms of fever, the process should be continuous—that is, the mixtures 
should be renewed on every third day. Otherwise, once or twice a month may be sufficient. And when thorough 
cleanliness and ventilation shall have been attained, the process will be unnecessary for occupied wards. 
In disinfecting unoccupied wards, water closets, latrines, etc. with Chlorine, they should be first cleansed, be 
closed up as perfectly as practicable and two packages or more used for each 600 cubic feet of space. 
2. Vaccine Virus is to be procured by application to Medical Directors of Departments. Medical Directors will 
obtain it by requisition upon the Surgeon General. 
3. Medicine Wagons will be distributed as the Surgeon General shall direct. 
4. The “ Cough Mixture ” consists of Syrup of Squills and Camphorated Tincture of Opium, each four fluid 
ounces, with two fluid drachms of Fluid Extract of Ipecacuanha. The dose is one teaspoonful. 
5. The “Liniment” is prepared with equal parts of Water of Ammonia, Oil of Turpentine, and Olive Oil.
