Portland Press: All the reports that
come from Chickamauga are of the
same tenor. and they all point to an
alarming amount of sickness among
the troops and singular inefiiciency of
hospital service. Upon somebody rests
a good deal Of blame for the state of
party is would probably he difficult to
find out Typhoid fever which is doing
a large part of the mischief at Chcka-
manga is preventable disease. 1t is
communicated only through food or
drink. 1t isn't in the air as some dis
eases seem to be. Ii has had its orig
in at Chickamauga in all probability in
a bad water supply. and until that de-
feet is reInedied it is not likely TO be
checked. Troops on the march are
necessarily exposed to a great many
dangers. They have to drink such wa
ter as they can get. they are necessa-
rily exposed to all kinds of weather. and
there is little opportunity for sanitary
precautions. But troops in perma-
nent camp in the midst of a populous
country. with free communication by
railroad, ought TO be able to get good
water and good food. when they are
well, and prompt assistance and proper
remedies when they are sick. There is
no good excuse for such a state of
things as is said to exist at Chicka-
manga.

recently. When he awokc Monday
morning, he was Mortified at finding
the pillow and good part of the bed
clothes saturated with blood. He lost
no time in organizing an investigating
committee to find out what had hap
pcned. He soon discovered that it was
his own gore that dyed the bed clothes
and that it got there by reason of a
severe and evidently prolonged attack
of nose bleeding which he had suf-
fered during the hours when he was
peacefully sleeping. He felt very weak
from loss of blood and it was some
time before he fully rallied and felt
able to dress himself and report for
duty.
