Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of the Chief Camp Diseases of the United States Armies as Observed During the Present War: A Practical Contribution to Military Medicine
If, in addition, it should prove that considerable dissimilarity exists between the chief diseases observed among tr00ps on this continent and those which have decimated the combatants in European wars, so that the descriptions of the authors who have written on camp diseases abroad are far from corresponding with what is here encountered daily, the necessity for an American work on this subject becomes at once apparent.
Engaged for many months in the laborious duty of preparing for the medical department, The Medical History of the Re bellion, the author has necessarily given much earnest thought to these affections, with which he had already acquired some familiarity by active service in the field during the first year of the war.
