The Cincinnati Branch OF the
United States Sanitary Commission
again appeal to you tor renewed ex
ertions in behalf of the gallant men
whose lives and health are exposed
for the preservation Of the best gov
eminent known among men.
To our former appeals you have
nobly responded. You have con.
tributed through US. 800 900 articles
Of hospital clothing and delicacies
for the sick, besides large sums Of
money, whereby we have been en-.
abied in various ways to servo the
great cause OF free government. now
in peril. You have thus helped in
many cases to avert sickncss in 9th
ere 10 mitigate ita evils, and to has.
ten recovery. Your generous don.
ations, and the benign influence OF
your constant sympa,y. have been
felt IN every camp and hospital in
the West. We now ask you to en-.
ter upon a fail campaign Of multi.
phi, d generosity benefcient labor -
The government proposes to put
600 900 additional soldiers immedi
at-ly into the field. II, with all that
you have done, 20 much suffering
has occurred that might have been
ohViated, how great is the necessity
for increase Of effort.
These 600 900 men have all to be
aeasoned to the labors Of the soldier,
TO change Of climate, and other
riska Of war, among which. that oI
battle is the least, 1t is believed TO
be- perfectly practicable, If the in.
spccting "tficers do their duty, and
admit none bnt physically capable
to the ranks, to reduce the percent,
age of sickness to q very low fisure
The government now provides foul
surgeons to each regiment. Its or
rangemenIs or medicines and sup
plies OF all kinds in the medical de-
/ ipartment, have greatly improved
But the call for so large an increase
of the force necessarily finds every
department in decree inadequate
though far better provided for thii
than any previous emergency.
You alone can supply every de
riciency, and you can do it. Bul
there must he no delay. Their,
must be instant and constant prepa
rations. Providence has blessed n,
with abundant harveste. OF fruit
especially, there is no end to tn,
crop in the North West. And W,
assure you there will be no end t,
the demand in rhe camps and hos
pitfalls the ensuing autumn and win
ter.
Of dried apples and peaches, o
canued tomatoes, OF sourkront o
pickles Of all kinds, especially q
cabbage. there cannot ne too larg
a supply prepared. Let every fam
lily double. treble qusdruple tn
quantity heretofore intended tor tn
use OF soldiers, and there will not b
, enough. We know this deman,
will come. In few weeks it viii
be to late to prepare to meet it,
We beseech you, BY all that yo
hold dear, to remit no effort, to 70
lax no exertion, but to work now
and while there is time. to accnmu
late such stocks ofthese hospital del
icscies that every want can be sup
piled for a year to come.
At the ssuIe time let there be n
cessation OF work upon garments fo
camp and hospital. We ask the Ia
dies to recommence the mapufactur
OF mittens and wooden socks; the
