Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Chronological Arrangement of Congressional Legislation: Relating to the Medical Corps of the United States Army From 1785 to 1917 This compilation comprises all congressional legislation relating to the Medical Corps of the United States Army from the foundation of our government down to the present year, in the form of excerpts essential to the matter from every bill which has become a law. These extracts have not been confined to acts of exclusively medico-military character, but every item relating to our Army medical establishment in other bills has been included. I have been moved to abstract this material partly from a desire to arrange the legislative history of our Medical Corps in chronological order, mainly, however, because I conceive that such an arrangement must obviously be of great practical use to our legislators and to medical officers interested in legislation relating to their corps. It is not easy to find the excerpts contained herein without considerable trouble and expenditure of time, and the American Medical Association, which has always been a loyal friend of the Army Medical Corps, has generously volunteered to print this manual for ready reference as a labor-saving compend. The fragmentary and fitful character of much of the legislation bearing upon our Army medical establishment is evidenced in these pages, and it is worthy of note that in the early days, even in 1861-5 and 1898, the appointment of surgeons was designated in desultory fashion in congressional bills as part of the complement of an individual regiment, instead of being provided for as a definite increase in number of the Medical Corps. I feel confident that this compend will be a helpful guide to those who will deal with progressive medico-military legislation in the future. The earlier legislation relating to the medical establishment of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary period, which I have also compiled, is of historical rather than practical interest, and has therefore been published in the Annals of Medical History, New York, 1917.
