While keeping this possibility constantly in view, it is believed that nothing of real importance to surgeons has been omitted. I have embodied in the form of an appendix, the code of instructions relating to the United States Army, adopted by the Board of Medical Officers, convened in Washington for that purpose, on the 15th of April, 1863, to which I have fur- ther added the Regulations governing the formation of our Invalid Corps ; the Prussian list of disqualifying diseases, and the Regulations governing the formation of their In- valid Corps. The following pages are now committed to the candid judgment and impartial criticism of the profession, in the hope that they will both subserve the interests of those for whose benefit they were written, and be found worthy of the subject they are intended to illustrate.
