General Orders,! No. 6. ( I, The strictest discipline is required in the adminis tratiou of a Military Hospital. It is a paramount duty of a Medical Officer of the Army to maintain the disci pline of the soldier, during his residence in Hospital, at the highest point of efficiency compatible with the na ture and treatment of the disease or injury he is suffer ing from. The General Hospitals in this Department have hitherto been remarkable for their excellent dis cipline. Ihe Medical Director regretted to find in his recent inspections the unmilitary neglect of regula tions in regard to dress and general discipline; the careless and unsoldierly bearing of many of the con valescents and attendants; and cither the entire ab sence of the customary compliments between the offi cers and men. or the slovenlv manner in which they were paid and returned. Respect to superiors is not confined to obedience on duty, but must be extended to all occasions. It is always the duty of the inferior to accept or offer first the proper salutation, and of the superior to return such complimentary notice. Here after existing regulation? and orders in regard to dis cipline, proper compliments, and dress, must be rigid ly enforced, and all infractions of discipline, or dis obedience of orders, must be promptly punished. The attention of all Officers on duty in General Hospitals in this Department, is called to paragraphs 263, 264, 266, 266 and 257 Revised Regulations of the Army, 1663, and to General Orders, No. 167, Headquarters. Department of the South, series 1364. Whenever an Officer enters a Ward,the Wardmaster must command attention, on which the patients, who are able to do so, will rise and stand in the position of attention until the Officer has passed out. Whenever a patient, attendant, or guard meets an Officer, within the precincts of the Hospital, he will offer the customary salutation; if seated, and without particular occupation, he will rise on his approach, or, if standing, he will turn towards the Officer for the same purpose. The Officer will acknowledge the salute in a respectful manner. At Inspection each man’s articles of clothing, which may be in the wards, will be neatly folded and laid on the foot of the bed. Boots' and shoes, tvell brushed, will be p'aced on the floor at the foot of the bed Nothing must be hidden under the bedstead. Every patient in Hospital, who is able, will wash his face and hands at least every morning, and his feet twice a week, and will take a general bath once a -week. Those who are unable to leave their beds, should have their hands and faces washed by the nurses, and the surface of the body sponged often enough to maintain cleanliness. flhe attendants are especially enjoined to be cleanly In their persons, neat in their dress, and soldierly in their bearing. • . J No attendant or patient in U. S. A. General Hospital In this Department must leave the limits of the Hospi tal unless he is provided with a pass signed by the Medical Officer of the Day, without having on his proper uniform, his coat buttoned up, clothing and shoes well brushed, and the number of his regiment and the letter of his company on his cap. Enlisted men and civilian nurses must not be permitted to wear hospital dressing gowns or slippers outside the wards*. 11. The Hospital Steward charged with the admin’is trative duties of a Military Hospital, is designated *.he Chief Steward. He may be selected by the Surgeo ain Charge from the Stewards assigned to him, solely on account of merit and known capacity, and not by wni ority of warrant. He is, ex-officio, the ranking Steward for the time being, and must be obeyed and reisnected accordingly. He is entitled by his rank to o'olSe from all enlisted meu in the Hospital, both patient? attendants, and civilian nurses, and is Immodmtelv re sponsible to the Surgeon in Charge for the performance of his duties, and he holds his subordinates responsible for the proper performance of their duties. As an en listed man, he owes respect and prompt obedience tn all orders of his military superiors. He should wear his undreas uniform in the Hospital On Musters and Inspections he must be in full dress, with side arms The Chief Stewards must pay two visits daily ta ev«y part of the Hospital viz: at nine o’clock a. m and at evening between tatoo and taps. At these reg ular visits, he will note the condition, discipline cleanliness, ventilation, warming and lighting of the ' Wa , rc j 3 > kitchens, mess-ha’ls, bath-rooms, and latrines, and he will report to the Surgeon in Charge all lrregu abuses, infraction of discipline, or neglect of w»y that may come under his notice, necessity of re pairs, or other wants.
