Excerpt from How to Keep Well: The Chicago Record's Hygienic Manual for United States Soldiers in the FieldMore or less exposed during the progress of an active campaign. In our army in times of peace the number of deaths occurring from disease in a year is only about 4 in every men, or 1 death among 250 men, while during the years of the civil war it was 1 death in 18 or 19 men, and in 1863 it ran as high as 1 death in every 16 men. This great difference between the death rates of soldiers in time of peace and in time of war explains why the major-general com manding considered it necessary to remind officers of all grades that one of their first duties is to guard and preserve the health of the men under their charge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
