Colonel Bradbury's recommenda
lions are as follows:
Ffrst-That a sergeant of the Hos
pital Corps, U. S. A, be detailed With
the hospital corps of the Second In
fantry and Coast Artillery Corps dur
ing their annual encampment as an
instructor. special attention being
given to paper work and customs of
the service.
Second-That questions on santa
ton and care of troops be included in
the examination papers of all officers
up for promotion.
Third-That prior to the annual en-
campment a lecture be given each
company of the Second Infantry and
the Coast Artillery Corps by medi-
cal officer assigned to that regiment,
the lecture to embrace the essentials
of sanitation, personal hygiene, first
aid and the proper fitting of shoes and
care of the feet.
Fourth-That no member of the
Guard be ordered from the State on
military duty who has not received
the typhoid prophylactic or who has
had typhoid fever.
Touching on the matter of typhoid
fever Colonel Bradbury says:
IAN earnest effort has been made by
the medical officers to encourage pro-
lection from typhoid fever during the
past year by the use of typhoid prophy-
Tactic. All officers and men of the
medical department, nearly one-half
of the officers of the Second Infantry
and the Coast Artillery Corps and
about 100 men have already taken the
treatment, and l have reason to be-
lieve that good proportion of the
Guard will be protected before the
