Section IV.—SUPPLIES BY MEDICAL STORE DEPARTMENT.
Instructions.
1. The officer in charge of a chief veterinary hospital will check and include the requirements
of branch hospitals in his annual indent.
2. If any medical store department supplies are transferred from one station veterinary hospital
or mountain battery to another, a list will be furnished by the transferring and receiving officers to
the I. V. O. concerned.
3. Articles not on charge should be obtained on loan from another hospital or, in the case of
medicines for emergencies, by purchase (see A. R. I., Vol. III). Dental, lithotomy, and trephining
instruments and Robertson's improved tooth forceps can be obtained on loan from the medical store
department. These instruments must be returned without delay. Instruments under repair will,
when necessary, be replaced by others on loan.
4. The veterinary officer in charge, will, when it is necessary to replace surgical instruments
or appliances, apply for a board of survey which should assemble one month before submission of
the annual indent. One copy of the proceedings should be recorded, the other sent through the
chief hospital to the examiner, S. and T. accounts. All unserviceable articles except those marked
in the table for return to the medical store depot, will be handed over to the S. and T. corps.
5. When a mountain battery proceeds to another command the I.V.O. will send to the I.V.O.
of that Command a copy of the last annual and any subsequent indent for stores in Table I and
any correspondence in connection therewith.
6. The stores in Table VI will not be brought on the equipment ledger. When indenting the
balance in hand of any stores in the above table will be deducted from the authorised scale.
All dry articles, mineral acids and chloroform are supplied by avoirdupois weight, and fluids by
measure.
