Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to the People of Pennsylvania for the Sick and Wounded Soldiers We who are safe at home, surrounded by all the comforts of domestic life and all the appliances of medical skill, must think and act for men thus exposed; we must send the forces required for their defence against these dreaded enemies. For every soldier in the field there should be a dozen volunteers male and female at home ready for any work or service necessary to maintain our armies in the fullest possible efficiency. It is for us of the home forces to provide the means and devise the measures that may be effectual in aiding the proper authorities and officers to put the many deadly diseases which hover round the camps to flight. It was this thought which inspired Florence Nightingale and sent her to the Crimea; it is this thought which now inspires thousands of female hearts and sets their fingers at work for their defenders in the field; it is this thought which prompted the generous and enlightened men who originated and organized the Sanitary Commission, which we now appeal to you to uphold by your personal efforts and contributions. Let us not boast of our half million of men so soon rallied to the standard of their country, but be as vigilant, earnest, and liberal in our sanitary measures as they were prompt to offer themselves and their services in this national emergency, or we may soon shudder to hear that from 30,000 to 50,000 of the very men upon whose vigor so much depends have fallen powerless under diseases which place them nearly in the grasp of that enemy who, when he secures his victims, makes no exchange and suffers no return. The soldier has committed himself to the guardianship of others; he can make no provision for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
