THE LAST DITCH.
The Lack of Medicines in the C0nfederacy
PHILADELPHIA Times.

philadelphia Timss.l
The greatest privation suffered by the
Confederates was from lack OF medi-
cfnes. The government at Washington
made them tontraband Of war. Quinine
and morphine were worth double, nay,
treble, their weight In gold, and when
Stonewall Jackson's arm was ampu-
tated. the fact that he had the aid OF
chloroform to sustain him under the
operation was telegraphed as news
throughout the Confederacy-n to
be received with thankfulness by the
waiting heart of the people. Federal
prisoners cursed the Confederate sur
geons who refused them morphine and
chloroform in their agonies but Con-
federates and Federals suffered alike
nothing was scarcer or more precious
than such drugs, and not O few South:
ern hospitals had little Of the one and
none OK the other in their stores.
An attempt was made to cultivate
opium, and TO that end the seed Of the
red and white poppy were distributed
through the country by the government
at Richmond. The plan was to prick
the gum capsules Of the plant, and col
lect the gum which exuded from the
wounds thus made; but the project met
with no success farther north than
Southern Alabama and Mississippi, and
even there was only partially success
full. / believe that some sort Of decoc-
ton, made from the green seed, STEPPED
In brandy, was used as q lotion In cases
or acute neuralgia, but am not sure.
Corn, wheat and other grains were 80
precious as breadstuffs that their dis
tillation into intoxicating liquors was
forbidden both by the Confederate Con-
gress and BIZ the various State Legisla-
lures. SO that fruit brandies, rum made
from the Juice Of the Chinese sugar cane
and grape wines were the only lawful
strong drinks of the country. These
paid heavy taxes, but they also brought
high prices, and large quantities OF them
we're manufactured. Victims Of neural
gia were forced to drink and forget their
misery when hot poultices failed to
bring relief, since opium was to be had
only at fancy prices. Bromine was un-
attainable, and all anodynes 80 wholly
out OF reach that few people ever even
sighed for them.
The medical department sent bota-
MIXING parties prospecting through the
country In search. OF roots and herbs
which might be Of medical value. and
appealed to the people of the Confed
eracy to collect and prepare such sim
pies sslippery elm. sarsaparilla, black
berry root, ginseng, etc. Herb teas
were used In the hospitals by surgeons
who for years had ridiculed them as
old wives'i remedies, but who now
turned to them in necessity, for lack Of
more efficient medicines. Southern
women trod on bare floors, cutting the
carpets which had covered them into
blankets for sick soldiers. Linen sheets
and underclothing were torn into ban
dages, and private stores were freely
~ used for the sick and dying. Once,
4 during the seven days. fighting around
Richmond, public worship was sus.
pended on Sunday and the members OF
Che churches worked all day long in
. their lecture-rooms, making sand bags
ages and scraping lint for the
wounded.
