The General Hospitals In this Department nave hitherto been remarkable for their excellent dis cipline. The 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 nnsoldierly bearing of many or the con valescents and attendants: and either the entire ab sence of the customary compliments between the offi cers and men, or the slovenly manner in which they were paid and returned. Respect to superiors is not confined to obedience on duty, but mnsi be extended to all occasions. It is always the duty of the Inferior to accept or offer first the proper Mad superior to return such complimentary notSW*i*n.—. after existing regulations and orders in regard to dis cipline, proper compliments, and dress, must be rigid- Jy enforced, and all Infractions of discipline, or dis obedience of orders, must be promptly punished.

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 tne 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.
