ria and not TO food. fhe food question
did not arise at all
charge Of the general: hospital at Fort
ress Monroe, saidzthat very few intestinal
diseases were treated at: that institution
and these were not; attributed to insuf1l-
scient or poor diet. No canned beet was.
used. ~ .e.;.-4sz
Major w. SR.. Hall, who was in control
of the general hospital at Key West, had
had no experience there with any canned.
roast or refrigerated beef. He attributed
the intestinal diseases, generally to the
fact that the men had been exposed to
tropical climate, He heard some com
plant that the men had been short of
rations in Cuba and they were much run
down. ff
Major H. P. Durham told of the condi-
tions at the Ponce general hospital, of
which he was in charge. He had used
both refrigerated beef and canned roast
beef, as we'll as the native beef. 1t was
necessary to use the native, beef the day
it was killed to prevent spelling, and the
refrigerator beef was preferred to the ma
tive article. He had found the canned
beef satisfactory in stews and had heard
no complaint concerning it. Typhoid was
many cases of dysentery and diarrhoea.
The latter he attributed generally to the
eating of native fruits and not to the
meats. All told, only about 120 cans of
frigerator beef had to be trimmed.
Major George H. Torney, who had
charge of the hospital ship Relief during
the war, said that about 800 sick men had
been transported from the island. He had
never used canned roast beef. The re-
fr1gerated meat had been tested and had
given satisfaction. Tie did not believe any
chemical reserves had been used.
Major D. NJ Appel told of his expert
ences during the war at Mobile and in
New York. He had been in charge of the
hospitals at the first named place and of
the distribution of the sick. He said he
heard many complaints from the men and
the surgeons concerning the meat sup
piled and he thought that some intesti-
nal troubles had been caused thereby. He
had heard in New York that many of the
men had refused to receive the canned
beef, but he had attributed this TO the
sickness itself.
