Sons&Co, |HEALTH OF THE ARMY Surgeon General Sternberg Reports It as Excellent. CONDITIONS AT LOCAL Posts Improving Quarters for the En- listed Men. BETTER CLASS OF RECRUITS eS eee The annual report ‘of Surgeon General Sternberg of the army made public today contains a mass of interesting information concerning the health of the army and the Sanitary condition of the various military posts. The health of the army has been excel- lent during the calendar year 1896. In the previous year all the rates that are usually considered by statisticians and health ofli- cers as throwing light on the physical condizion of a community. were lower than in any former year of the history of our army. The admissions to sick report per thou- sand of strength were 1,110.39 as compared with 1,110.22 in the previous year, and with 1,089.73 in 19804, which was the lowest recorded admission rate for ull causes; but it is to be observed that an excess of in- juries in the past two years raised the tetal rate, while the admission rate for disease in both years was lower than in 1304, $30.65 during the past year, 837.53 in 1895" and 845.52 in 1894. The death rate from all causes constituted 5.44 per 1,000 of the strength, not much higher than that of the previous year, and much lower than the average annual rate, 7.5 of the previous ten years. “It may be well to notic says General Sternberg, “the great improvement that las taken place in the past few years in the sanitary condition of the colored troops, as manifested by their lessened rates of sickness, disability and death. The white troops have participated in the improve- ment, although their rates have not fallen so rapidly as those of the colored men. There was ne doubt greater room for im- provement in the sanitary status of the colored troops, and the men may have responded with, more earnestness to ef- forts in this direction. During the past year the total admission rate for all causes among the colored troops wis 46 1,000 of strength, as compared with 1, among the whites for the same year, and as compared with 915.88 among themselves in the previous year, and with 1,365.vi, their own annual average for the previous decade, the annual average of the white troops having been 1,25 The non-effi- ciency from all causes among the colored troops during the year was ¥. per 1,000 of strength, as compared with 34.72 among the white troops. 9.42 days from disability during the year, the white soldier, 12.71; and the ayerage time of treatment of each case was among the colored troops 10.84 days, among che whites, 11.22 days. The causes of disabil- ity from which the colored men suffered less than the white troops were malarial fevers, venereal diseases, alcoholism, diar- rhoea and injuries; those from which they suffered more were neuralgia, rheumatism and myalgia, tonsilitis, colic and constipa- tion, conjunctivitis and pneumont: Disenne at Local Posts. In a chapter on the “Highest and Lowest Rates at Individual Posts,” Gen. Sternberg says: ‘The largest admission rates for the year were reported from Washington bar- racks, D. C., and Fort Myer, Va., 2,250.71 and 2,250.00 respectively per 1,000 of strength. These two posts have had high rates for a number of years. Malarial in- fection was the principal cause of these high rates. An investigation was made during the past vear by Surgeon W. Reed, who concluded that the fevers at both posts were to be attributed to the marsh lands of the Potomac valley.° The malarial rate continued high at Washington barracks during the past year, but the cases at Fort Myer were relatively not so numerous, These two posts, although heading the list of sickness as represented by frequency of admissions, take only the twelfth and fif- teenth place respectively when the posts are arranged in order of non-efficiency from sickness. Following Fort Myer in frequency of entries on the sick report are Fort Clark and Camp Eagle Pass, Texas, each with over 1,00 entries per 1,000 of strength; Fort Slocum, N. Y., and Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., with over 1,60, and Fort Riley, Kan., Fort Monroe, Va., Jefferson barracks, Mo., Fort Wingate, N. M., and Fort Barran Fla., with over 1,500. The causation of these rates are stated in dis- cussing the health of the departments. Jefferson barracks, Mo., had the highest rate—6i.23—of constant sickness, although enly ninth in order of frequency of admis- sions. This was owing to the prolonged duration of its fever cases—malarial and typhoid. Two other posts—Camp Eagle Pass and Fort Mcintosh, Texas—had a con- stant sickness of over 6 per 1,000 of strength. Three posts—Fort Barrancas, Fla., Fort Thomas, Ky., and San Diego bar- racks, Cal.—had each over 5 per cent of constant non-efficiency. Following these in the order of diminishing rates are Forts Clark and Brown, Texas, Fort Wingate, M., Fort Crook, Neb., Fort Monroe, Va., and Washington barracks, D. C., the last with a rate of 44.51 for the year. Fort Yellowstone, Wyo., had the best medical record during the year, it havipg had the lowest admission and non-efficient rates, with no death and no discharge. Its ad- mission rate was 398.15, with less than 1 ber cent of constant sickness, 9.59 per 1,000. Including this garrison there were eight posts which had an admission rate of less than 600—Alcatraz Island, Cal., 477. Fort Porter, N. Y., 486.06; Angel Island, Cal 523.44; Fort Assinniboine, Mont., 540.60; Benicia barracks, Cal., 540.67; Fort Trumbull, Conn., 558.82, and Fort Wayne, Mich., 568.00. Sandy Hook proving ground, N. J., had less than one per cent of con- stant sickness, 9.71 per 1,000, Benicia bar- racks, Cal., had 13.96, and the large post, Fort Assinniboine, Mont., 18.12." Malarial Infection. ‘The admission rate fcr malarial infection for the year was 83.08 and the rate of non- efficiency 1.65, as compared with 82.56 and 1.70 in 1895, and with 96.67 and 2.48 as the average of the decade 1885-94. The to! number of cases was 2,087, of which 1,771 were intermittents, 297 remittents and con- tinued mialarial feyers, one pernicicus and eighteen registered as malarial cachexia. One death and one discharge were occa- sicned by these diseases. The admission rate for the colored troops was 16.63; for the white treops, 89.16. The posts which had high rates. were mostly eastern posts, Washington bar- racks, District of Columbia, and Fort Myer, Virginia, being at the head of the list, with 1,071.22 and 644.37, respectivel: giving 9.82 end 5.83 of non-efficiency. Jef- ferson barracks, Missouri, followed, with 356.52, and the high non-efficient rate of 16.05. Fort Sill was the only western post that had*a rate, 290.64, approaching those found at these eastern stations. Forts Clark and McIntosh, Texas, which former- ly had laige rates, reported during the year only 13.48 and 16.81 admissio: re- spectively, per thousand of strength. Even Fort Brown had only 90.09, and Fort Ring- gold 103.17. Sanitary Condition of the Army. The quarters provided for the enlisted men of the army at posts recently built are excellent in their sanitary arrange- ments. At some of the old posts the build- ings are more or less in want of repair, semetimes overcrowded, with inadequate ventilation end primitive methods for the removal of wastes. Every year, however, shows some improvement in the condition of these posts. It is to the credit of those concerned trat when attention is called to remediable sanitary faults by the monthly reports of the medical office immediate action {s taken by the ‘officer if it Hes wittin his power, or by an allot- ment of money for the purpose by the quar- termaster’s department. On account of the insanitary condition of the quarters occupied by married sol- Giers at many posts, Gen, Sternberg rec- ommends a return so far to former meth- ads as to provide public quarters for a imited number of The colored soldier lost to deservi: soldiers, and would permit the whole of the huts ‘shanties pow oc- cupied to be eae Hospitals a Wary Posts. 7 Grest improvemen' ‘been made during the past few years in ghe hospital accom- modations at many, ry. posts. At the: present time new /legy are in progress, of construction ‘at (x fpste—Forts Hamll-) ton and Wadsworth, N. Y.; Fort Hanéock, N. J.; Fort Monroe, 7¥ort Custer, Mont.,. and Fort Spokane, Wash. In 1896 a hos- pital was complet at Fort Logan H.' Roots, Ark.~ In new * itais were erected at. Fort Myer, Ya.;.Fort McHenry,: Md.; Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y.; Fort Meade, 8. D., and Harrison, Mont., and in 1894 at Washirgt@n Barracks, D. C. These hospitals are of brick, with a two- inch air space in:thegexterior walls and no furring on the inside. 1 The plaster Is ap- plied direct: to thexbrick work and_has a scapstone finish. Pressed steel ceilings are* used” on ‘each’ floor gBeve the basement. Each building is heated by hot water, and ventilated through galvanized iron ducts and brick flues by direct-indirect radiation. The basement is concreted, well ventilated and usually contains a boiter room, coal room, several storerooms, a vegetable cel- lar and a large room under the ward wing which is as a drill-room for the de- tachment of the hospital corps in bad weather. - fe The act of Congress approved June 11, 1896, appropriated $19,000 for the support and medical treatment of destitute pa- tients in this city, under a contract. to be made with the Providence Hospital by the surgeon general of the: army. The amount of relief afforded under this appropriation was equivalent to the treatment of Hs patients throughout the year. The Army Medical School. .The report of the president of the Army Medical School on the work of the past year shows the earnest endeavors of the members of the faculty to make the course of study one of the best of its kind with the facilities at command. The practical instruction in operative surgery, the sur- geon general says, is a valuable prepara- tion for the responsibilities of service in the army, where the surgeon has frequent- ly to act for himself in cases which in civil life would be treated only. after professional consultation. The laboratory work in bac- teriology and sanitary chemistry is also of great importance. The teachers of these branches have reported as the: result of their experience during the past three ses- sions that a course of four months does not give them time to deal with their sub- jects in a therough and satisfactory man- ner. To enable them to do this the War Department extended’ the course of in- struction from four to five months, the session beginning, as heretofore, on. the first Monday.in November. Recruiting. The total number of men examined for ment during the calendar year was of whom 8,654, or 590.25 per thous- and, were accepted; 5,448, or 371.65 per thousand, were rejected on primary ex- amination, and 557, or 38.00 per thousand, subsequently declined enlistment. The ratio of accepted men per thousand of those ex- amined is considerably larger than the rates of previous years..in 1893 the rate w&s 435.45; in 1804, 451.04, and in 1895, 489.83. This must be regarded as meaning that better men physically’are coming up as candidates for examination for enlist- ment. The rejections among the colored men were relatively somewhat more numer- ous than among the white candidates for enlistment—379.00, as compared with 371.04 per thousand, respectively.
