Work at the Hospital Tent

The members of the hospital SQUAD are
receiving valuable instruction each dav
at the camp. Wednesday morning Cant
Sampson gave a lecture on first aid 70
the injured and illustrated the methods
of putting bandages on the arms and
legs. Each member of the squad nrac-
ticed bandaging, after which the men
were questioned on the manner of aiding
the injured and producing artificial res
piration. AS yet no cases have come 10
the hospital, but the corps stands ready
to be of service to any in the Camp. The
general health of the camp is excellent.
The officers of the hospital corps are:
Major Towne. chief surgeon; Capt Samp-
son, Major Chamberlain. Sergeant Long.
assistant. Lieut.. Marston is sanitary Of
ficer of the encampment.
An amusing incident occurred wednes-
day morning in front of the hospital tent
when the men OF the hospital CORDS were
receiving instruction in packing medical
equipment on a horse. The horse in
question was evidently not accustomed
to carrying such loads, for the instant
the packs were strapped on his back he
started across the field in double ouick
time and was not stopped until ne had
gone the length of the camp The fact
that none of the equippage fell from the
horses back shows that the work of the
medical men had been done in A. very
creditable manner
