THE UNITED STAES SANITARY
COMMISSION.
From tho Medieul Surgical Importer.
Kvery few weeks tho "United States
Sanilury Commission" appears before tho
puiiuc in a new roio in llio urt ol money
.'getting, It seems determined to make its
, Commission profess to accomplish,
viz: tho prevention of diseaso iu
, camp nnd hospital, and tho care ol the
I sick nod wounded scldicr.
e linvo sonic vcrv serious nbip..(ioii!
to thU CrriV.lxalion nnd its way of doinc
. ollsiness. In tho fust l.biee. llm thin- it-
self is founded on a false issue, and is a
j standing insult to two Government thro'
its medical department.
It wis started
on the plea of necessity,
to nccomiilish
luties that it was the acknowledged busi
ness of fhc medical bureau to perform.
Granted thnt thero may have been n plaus
ible excuse for its existetico for a timo as
an ailjunct to tho medical department,
just as our militia and emergency men
have on two or three occasions been called
us mi urn to too nnny, why has it
not gracefully retired when its services
wero no longer neoded? I'ecauao it ha3
assumed to perform tho legitimate work
of the medical department is no proof
that it is needed. Tho department is ful
ly competent to perform all the work that
the Commission has taken out of its hands,
and we think thut its continual appeals
to the public for money now, for many of
the oljccts for which they aro made are
tantamount to a fraud on tho community-
Ono of tho strongest arguments used by
the Commission in its appeals, is tho ne
cessity cf supplying tho sick and woun
ded soldier with the articles that the Gov
ernment does riot furnish. That this is
derogatory to tho Governraont, is well
known lo those who are cognizant of whut
provision is made for every emergency.
This will bo mado tomcwhat apparent to
our readers by tho following imperfect in
ventory of the contents of one of tho store
houses of the Government, taken from the
Sew York Evening Post, and which we com
mend to their persuaL

ill tho thinking people examine this
subject in all its bearings ? Tho conclu
sion will bo inevitable that the soldiers
need 110 extraneous aid."
Another duty th0 Commission assumes
to pei form ia tho sanitary inspection of
camps hospitals, etc. Why, every medi
cal olhcrr of n regiment or a hospital, is a
professed tan itai inn, and he has his bri
gade, division, and corp superiors to eee
that his work 13 properly done, and they
again are under tho supervision of
Modicnl Inapectors, nnd various indepen
dent roving commissions of inspection up
pointed by government. It is hii insult
to the government and its oflhvrs that
this Commission sends its agents to over
seo their work. Why doe it not tend
agents to see how the President performs
his work, or how the work of the depart
ments or Congress is performed? Why
confine its supervision to the Medical De
partment? Perhaps it has secret agents
at work who knows? The plea of " cue
fur tho soldier" has been asuceesslul can.',
(nnd they may rightfully claim that they
. riue or. 1110 wave 01 popular opinion
w 0 snail resume mis subject next we.-i;
and review the methods adopted by the
Commission to raise funds, its irresponsi
bility, and tho disposition it makes of its
money. We think that it is capable of
proof that whero tho soldier gets tho ben
efit ol a dollar, much moro than that
amount goes toward defraying the expen
ses and keeping the machinery in motion.
There arc sonio remaikable developments
to bo made in this connection.
