    No. 5.   j                    Cincinnati, Ohio,  October 1th,  1862.

    The  attention of Regimental  Surgeons is called  to  Par.  1263,
Revised Regulations:
    " As soon as a recruit joins any regiment or station, he shall be
examined by tbe medical officer, and vaccinated when it is required."
    Information having reached the Medical Director that the vac-
cination  of  the Regiments has been  in  many cases neglected, the
Regimental  Surgeons  in this Department are therefore instructed to
make immediate requisitions upon the Surgeon General for Vaccine
Virus, in order that every man who, after a careful examination, ap-
pears in their judgment to be insufficiently protected, may be imme-
diately vaccinated.

                            Surgeon U. S. A. and Medical Director.
