OF THE 
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, 
UNITED STATES AEMY. 
1894. 
War Department, 
Surgeon General’s Office, 
Washington, April 25, 1894. 
The following is the Supply Table of the Medical Department 
of the United States Army, and its provisions and requirements will 
be in force from this date. 
GEO. M. STERNBERG, 
Approved : 
Surgeon General, U. S. Army. 
Daniel S. Lamont, 
Secretary of IVar. 
War Department, April 26, 1894. SUPPLY TABLE. 
1. The Supply Table enumerates the medical supplies 
issued to the U. S. Army, and the quantities and sizes of 
original packages. 
It is the policy of the Medical Department to supply, 
from time to time, new remedies of determined thera- 
peutic value ; but newly introduced remedies desired 
only for experiment and such as offer no manifest advan- 
tage over those already issued will not be supplied. It 
should be borne in mind that these supplies are selected 
for the military service. It is believed that all necessary 
articles are included and that the quantities allowed will 
be found sufficient under ordinary circumstances. 
Requisitions for particular preparations simply be- 
cause they are agreeable to the taste, or to save trouble 
in compounding, will not be approved ; nor will prepara- 
tions of a drug be furnished when one or more practically 
equivalent ones are on the list. 
2. The senior medical officer of every post will make1 
annual requisitions for medical supplies for the year 
commencing January first, unless another date is fixed 
by the Surgeon General. Such requisitions will be made 
in triplicate and forwarded to the medical director, or, in 
the case of independent posts, in duplicate, to the Sur- 
geon General. 
Medical directors 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 General for issue, and will retain one in 
their office. 
a. Annual requisitions will not be forwarded to the 
medical director more than 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 par. 
18 b, and will give the total number of persons entitled 
Supply Table. 
Annual reqnisi- . 
tions. 4 
by regulations to medicines. Quantities on hand will be 
deducted from the quantities allowed by the Supply Table. 
b. Medical directors at their inspections will carefully 
investigate the method of preparing requisitions, particu- 
larly as to the necessity for the quantities asked for and 
the accuracy with which the amounts on hand are stated. 
3. Requisitions for supplies for temporary posts or for 
those soon to be abandoned will be confined to such arti- 
cles as are absolutely necessary. 
a. Subposts and camps will, in 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 medical director. 
4. It is not expected that the smaller posts will require 
for all the articles included in these lists, and the local 
prevalence or rarity of certain diseases, as well as the 
quantity or number on hand of each article, will be con- 
sidered in the preparation and approval of requisitions. 
5. When medical supplies are absolutely necessary 
before the annual requisition is prepared they should 
be required for upon a special requisition, in triplicate, 
giving a list of the articles needed, and the quantity on 
hand, and giving explicit reasons for the necessity of 
such requisition. These will be transmitted through the 
medical director, who will retain one copy and will for- 
ward two to the Surgeon General. 
Medical directors will personally and carefully scruti- 
nize the requisitions, and make such changes therein as 
they may deem proper. 
a. The quantities asked for will be computed on the 
basis of original packages. 
b. Proper care in the preparation of the annual requisi- 
tion should prevent the necessity of requiring for any- 
thing but medicines and hospital stores on special requi- 
sitions, and the necessity for an additional supply of 
these should be rare. 
c. Special requisitions for instruments, books, bedding, 
furniture, etc., will seldom be approved. 
> 6. In all returns, requisitions, invoices, and receipts 
pertaining to medical supplies, the nomenclature, order 
of entry, and classification of the Supply Table will be 
strictly followed, and the copies will be carefully com- 
pared. 
a. They will be forwarded without letters of trans- 
mittal. 
Supplies for tem- 
porary posts, sub- 
posts, and camps. 
All articles not 
issued to smaller 
posts. 
Special requisi- 
tions. 
Nomenclature, 
etc., to be followed. 5 
7. While it is believed that the quantities of medicines i 
and hospital stores allowed will be ample and usually in 1 
excess of the requirements,it is not supposed that they will 
always meet the necessities caused by the prevalence of 
epidemics or by the location of troops in unhealthy parts 
of the country. Medical officers who allow their supplies 
to become exhausted in such contingencies without giv- 
ing timely notice of the deficiency will be held account- 
able for any bad results arising therefrom. 
8. In cases of emergency,, as sudden epidemics, not 
admitting of delay, medical directors are authorized to 
act upon special requisitions, forwarding one copy, with 
their action, to the nearest 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. 
9. Officers in charge of medical supply depots will not 
issue any article not on this Supply Table, except by' 
special authority of the Surgeon General. i 
10. In view of the present universal telegraphic facili- 
ties between posts and Department headquarters and; 
Washington, D. C., the authority given in A. R. 1648 is 
revoked. 
11. Officers transferring medical supplies will prepare 
invoices (Form No. 21) in duplicate, one for the Surgeon 
General and one for the receiving officer. The receiving 
officer will prepare receipts (Form No. 23) in duplicate, 
one for the Surgeon General, with a report of the condi- 
tion of the articles, and one for the issuing officer. The 
vouchers for the Surgeon General will be promptly for- 
warded after the transfer is completed. A packer’s list 
(Form No. 20) will, if necessary, be furnished by the 
issuing officer. 
12. On assuming charge of medical property great care 
should be exercised before receipting for cases of instru- 
ments, microscopes, and other property of similar char- 
acter 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 given in this Supply Table, and the receiving 
officer will thereafter 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. 
13. Medical officers will report to the Surgeon General 
and to the issuing officer all defects observed in the 
quality, quantity, or packing of medical supplies. They 
are requested to freely communicate to the Surgeon Gen- 
eral any suggestions tending to the improvement of 
medical supplies, appliances, etc., and to make reports as 
to new designs of apparatus, field equipment, etc. 
14. When non-expendable 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 non-interested person. If the evidence is 
considered satisfactory by the 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. 
15. The names of all expendable articles are printed in 
Roman type ; those of all non-expendable articles are in 
Italics. 
16. Medical officers will take up and account for all 
medical supplies of the Army that come into their pos- 
session, and report, when possible, to whose account they 
are to be credited. 
17. Surgical instruments and appliances that require 
and are considered worth repairing will be reported to 
the Surgeon General through the medical director, with 
a statement of the repairs needed. 
a. 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. 
18. Medical officers will be held directly responsible 
for the serviceable and complete condition of all property 
in their possession except such as may have been ren- 
dered unserviceable by fair wear and tear. 
Condition of prop- 
erty received. 
Loss or destruc- 
tion of non-ex- 
pendable articles.

non-expendable ar- 
ticles indicated.

needing repair. 
Care of property. 7 
a. The responsible officer will cause all instruments in 
his charge to be examined by a commissioned medical 
officer at least once each month. 
b. He will also twice each year cause all medical prop- 
erty in his charge to be carefully examined by a com- 
missioned medical officer, and verified by the returns, 
invoices, etc. 
19. Medical officers will submit to the medical director 
at his annual inspection such articles of furniture as 
chairs, bedside tables, and property of that general class 
which 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 to 
the Surgeon General for authority to purchase necessary 
material. If not practicable, the medical officer will 
obtain one or more estimates in detail of cost of repair or 
renovation of such furniture, etc., as may be designated 
by the medical director, and forward them through the 
medical director for the action of the Surgeon General. 
20. Medical officers in charge of medical supplies will 
prepare annually, on December 31, unless another date is 
fixed by the Surgeon General, or when relieved from the 
charge thereof, returns of medical supplies (Form No. 25) 
in duplicate, showing those on hand at last return, those 
received, expended, issued, and sold, and those remaining 
on hand. 
a. The original of this return will be promptly trans- 
mitted to the Surgeon General. The duplicate, with a 
complete set of vouchers, will be retained for the protec- 
tion of the officer responsible for the property. 
b. In exceptional cases a certified invoice may be offered 
by the issuing officer, in the absence of a receipt, as a 
substitute for the proper voucher, together with such 
additional evidence as he may possess in regard to the 
transfer. 
c. No interlineations or erasures will be made on the 
returns, and all articles not provided for in the printed 
headings will be entered in proper order under the head- 
ing of additional articles. 
21. Articles issued to posts shall not be taken away by 
the medical officer on being relieved, nor when absent on 
leave, except by authority of the Surgeon General or of 
a medical director. 
22. Damaged and unserviceable medical property will 
not be presented to an inspector for condemnation until 
authority for so doing has been obtained from the Sur- 
geon General. 
Repair of furni- 
ture. 
Property'.returns 
of medical,’officers. 
Post medical prop- 
erty not to bp taken 
away. 
Inspection of 
damaged and un- 
serviceable med- 
ical property. 8 
a. At independent posts and supply depots recommen- 
dations relating- to unserviceable property will be made 
by the officer responsible for the same, or by a medical 
officer detailed for the purpose ; at other posts by the 
medical director of the department. 
b. Lists of unserviceable articles (Form No. 43) will be 
prepared in duplicate, and the property submitted to the 
medical director upon his annual visit to the post. 
c. Medical directors, when they have personally in- 
spected medical property thus submitted to them, may 
authorize the officer accountable for the same to submit 
such portion as in their opinion is proper to an officer of 
the Inspector General’s Department, with a view to con- 
demnation, by the following indorsement : “ To be sub- 
mitted for the action of an inspector. By authority of 
the Surgeon General. (Signed) .” In this 
case one copy will be left with the officer accountable for 
the property and one will be forwarded at once to the 
Surgeon General. 
d. If circumstances should require an inspection of 
unserviceable property at other times, this list, in dupli- 
cate, will be forwarded through the medical director to 
the Surgeon General, who will give instructions as to 
the disposition of the property. 
23. When condemned medical property is sold at public 
auction the officer responsible therefor will prepare an 
account of sales (Form No. 12) in duplicate. He will also 
prepare an invoice (Form No. 13) in duplicate of the 
articles sold. The original of this account of sales, accom- 
panied 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. 
24. Medical officers receiving money from the sale of 
public property will deposit the same, without delay, in 
the nearest Government depository to the credit of the 
Treasurer of the United States, taking duplicate certifi- 
cates of deposit therefor, 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 neces- 
sary to incur any expenses in connection with such sales 
they will be paid out of the total receipts before deposit- 
ing the latter, in which case the expenses will be sup- 
ported by properly prepared and receipted vouchers 
attached to the account of sales. 
Sale of medical 
property. 
Proceeds of sale. 9 
25. Medical officers in charge of medical property will 
not permit it to be used for other than hospital purposes. 
Medical directors will report every instance in which this 
regulation is violated. 
a. This regulation, however, is not to be construed as 
prohibiting medical officers from using such medical 
property as books, instruments, etc., wherever they may 
deem necessary. 
h. Under no circumstances will hospital bedding be 
used except within the hospital to which it has been sup- 
plied, nor will it be used by members of the hospital 
corps except when on duty in the wards. 
26. Hospital clothing shall be worn by patients only 
during their stay in hospital. Each article will be marked 
as medical property. When very sick soldiers are trans- 
ferred from one hospital to another the hospital clothing 
necessary for their comfort may be sent with them, prop- 
erly invoiced, and accompanied by a check list giving the 
names of the men in whose possession it is. 
a. Crutches and similar articles may, if necessary, be 
similarly transferred with the patient from one post or 
hospital to another under the provisions of this para- 
graph. 
27. Medicines may be dispensed to persons entitled to 
medical attendance, and hospital stores to enlisted men 
and hospital matrons; also to officers at posts or stations 
where they can not be procured by purchase. 
a. The regulation that officers and others are not 
entitled to any articles on the list of hospital stores if 
such can be obtained at or near their station will be 
strictly complied with. 
b. Hospital matrons are not entitled to hospital stores 
except when prescribed for them as patients; the regu- 
lation is not to be construed as authorizing the issue to 
them of soap or lye for laundry use. 
c. The issue of articles for use in the preparation of 
cleaning mixtures, cosmetics, perfumery, use with spirit 
lamps, etc., is strictly prohibited. 
28. The exchange of medicines with druggists is pro- 
hibited. 
29. There is no authority of law or regulation for the 
sale or supply of medicines to civilians not employes of 
the Army, except as patients in hospital. If a medical 
officer assumes the responsibility of issuing medicines to 
sick civilians he must comply with the letter and spirit 
of the decision of the Secretary of War as promulgated 
Medical property 
not to be used for 
other than hospital 
purposes. 
Use of hospital 
clothing. 
Issue of medicines 
and hospital stores.

in Par. IV, Circular 10, A. G. 0., 1890, in justification of 
his action. 
30. 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 laundry if one is near the post. 
31. When the present supply of hair mattresses is 
exhausted the “ sectional ” mattress in three parts will be 
issued. Three sections constitute a mattress, but as the 
end pieces will be serviceable much longer than the 
middle one, the latter may be inspected and condemned 
as mattress J/3, and the others carried on the returns as 
mattress etc. 
32. Laundry appliances will no longer be supplied to 
post hospitals. Washtubs will be furnished for the pur- 
pose of soaking sheets, clothing, etc., in disinfecting solu- 
tions. 
33. Requests for vaccine virus should be made direct 
to the Surgeon General by information slip. On account 
of its liability to become inert from various causes, espe- 
cially from heat, it should be asked for in such quantities 
only as are needed for early use. It will hereafter be 
supplied only in the form of non-humanized (bovine) 
virus on charged points, ten points in each package. 
34. Disinfectants are issued, as are medicines, to be 
used by medical officers when actually required for some 
specific purpose. The routine giving out of disinfectants 
to be scattered about the post is prohibited, and medical 
directors will, at their inspections, carefully investigate 
the use of these articles. 
The requirements of circular from this office of August 
9, 1893, will be strictly complied with. 
35. 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 as occa- 
sionally needed for the instruction of members of the 
hospital corps. 
36. Pens of four common and generally used patterns 
will be issued as required, namely; falcon, stub, large fine, 
and small fine. 
37. Field furniture will not be used at posts except 
when required for the instruction of men of the hospital 
corps. 
Care of blankets. 
Se> tio al mat- 
tresses. 
Laundry acces- 
sories. 
Vaccine \ivus. 
Disinfectants. 
Antiseptic dress- 
ings. 
Pens. 
Use of field fur- 
niture. 11 
38. 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. 
39. Pieces of canvas of the proper size for litters will 
be issued as required to replace pieces that may be torn 
or unserviceable. If soiled, the canvas should be removed 
from the litter, washed, and replaced. 
40. Rubber and flexible catheters and bougies will be 
kept in the catheter box, using talc (French chalk) or 
glycerin to preserve them, 
41. Field tourniquets and first-aid packets for the equip- 
ment of company bearers when serving in the field will 
be kept by the post surgeon 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 command the articles will be returned to 
the post surgeon. 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 responsi- 
ble, 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 post surgeon thereat will, upon its arrival, 
receive the tourniquets and packets, invoices and receipts 
being exchanged by the issuing and receiving officers. 
42. Clinical thermometers are issued from the Surgeon 
General’s office upon request by information slip direct, 
giving number on hand and accompanied by a certificate 
of the medical officer in case of breakage, giving the 
name of the person who caused such loss and the number 
of the thermometer. 
43. Record and copying ribbons for typewriting ma- 
chines should be asked for by information slip as required, 
as they deteriorate if kept on hand any great length of 
time. Care should be exercised in the proper use of these 
ribbons for the purposes indicated by their names. 
44. Meteorological instruments will not in future be 
issued by the Medical Department. When required for 
use at designated posts they will be obtained by applica- 
tion direct to the Chief of the Weather Bureau, Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., specifying ex- 
plicitly the kind of instruments required. When such 
instruments are broken or unserviceable the request for 
Medical and sur- 
gical chests.

instruments. 12 
a new one will contain a statement setting forth the cir- 
cumstances attending the breakage, and the parts of the 
instrument, if a thermometer, will be returned to the 
office of the Weather Bureau by mail. Receipts for these 
instruments will be made out by the post surgeon 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 transferred. Meteorological 
instruments heretofore issued by the Medical Depart- 
ment 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. 
The following will be issued: Maximum and minimum 
thermometers, rain and snow gauges, and measuring rods. 
45. 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 use of the sick in hospital, and not for 
the comfort or convenience of the garrison at large; but 
surplus ice, may be sold in accordance with the provi- 
sions of Circular, S. G. 0., June 13, 1891. They will be 
accounted for and invoiced in detail. 
46. Emergency and field cases, hospital corps pouches, 
and similar articles of individual use or equipment, will 
be issued in accordance with the usual personnel of each 
hospital. 
47. If window and door screens of unusual sizes are 
required, the requisition therefor should be accompanied 
by an estimate of cost of having suitable frames made at 
or near the post. Wire netting will be furnished to com- 
plete them and to renew such as have become unservice- 
able. 
48. When the present supply of bed screens is ex- 
hausted no more will be issued from depot. When 
required, application will be made to have the frames con- 
structed at 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. 
49. All prescriptions will be placed on file; those for 
liquors will be placed on a separate file. 
50. 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 be issued as required, two for each strip. It should 
not be nailed to the floor.

51. The expense of replating the silver-plated knives, ( 
forks, and spoons being about equal to their first cost, 
such articles will in future, when worn and unsuitable 
for table use, be submitted to the medical director for 
inspection, with a view to dropping them as originally 
issued and taking them up as “ common ” for kitchen use. 
52. Chemical and bacteriological sets will only be issued 
to the larger posts, and officers to whom these sets are' 
furnished will be required to make an annual report on 
December 31, showing what use has been made of them. 
53. Unless modified by special instructions from the 
Surgeon General, medical directors will be governed by < 
the following general rules as to the disposition to be1 
made of medical property upon the abandonment of a 
post: 
{a.) Medicines, dressings, clothing, bedding, and miscel- 
laneous articles in good and serviceable condition should 
be sent to other posts in the department, 
(<£.) Obsolete books which have been replaced by more 
modern ones and all unserviceable property should be 
submitted to the action of an inspector, with a view to 
final disposition by sale or destruction. 
(r.) Only such non-expendable articles as are in perfect 
order, including recent medical works, and all instru- 
ments which can not be transferred to other posts with- 
out unnecessary duplication, should be turned into a 
medical supply depot. 
54. No list of medical books is included in the present 
supply table, as, owing to the rapid advances in medicine, 
a large part of any fixed list soon becomes obsolete. Such 
new books as may be selected by the Surgeon General 
will be furnished without requisition. 
55. The library of the Surgeon General’s office is in- 
tended for reference rather than 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. Such books must be sent and returned by 
express, carefully packed, and the charges both ways 
must be paid by the borrower. The medical journals of 
which the library has duplicates may be sent and returned 
by mail. The Index Medicus is supplied to all posts in 
order that medical officers may be informed and make 
use of the latest additions to the library.

of the late personal sets, is a wide, flat case, and does not contain a mallet.

knives, and tenaculum are detachable from the two hard-rubber or ivory handles. Some cases contain a com- 
bined needle and fenestrated artery forceps and a haemostatic forceps, others a plain artery and a dressing 
forceps.

OUTFIT OF SOHUEHLE ICE MACHINE AS PER LATEST 
CONTRACT. 
Ice machine, complete, Jacob Schuehie’s patent, capacity 3,000 pounds in 24 hours, consists of— 
-1 double ammonia compressor. 
1 steam engine. 
1 boiler, 20-horse power, complete, with feed pump, 
1 ammonia condenser. • " - • 
1 boiler-steel freezing tank, incased in 1-inch pine flooring, with the requisite number-of ice cans. 
1 steam condenser, capacity sufficient to furnish in 2U hours distilled water for 3,000 pounds of ice. 
1 brine pump. 
1 patent oil eliminator. 
1 side-feed lubricator. 
300 fire brick. 
Bedplate, necessary pipes, gauges, valves, connections, etc. 
Anhydrous ammonia and lubricating oil sufficient to run the machine for two years. 
In most cases additional or improved parts have been purchased for these machines, and this list can be con-

tract, and unless purchased from the ice fund does not form a part of the Schuehle machine, being returned 
when a fresh drum of ammonia, is received. The Wood-Bailie machine, of which two are now in use, has an 
ammonia drum as part of the original machine. See par. 45 and Circular S. G. 0., June 13, 1891.
