The general conclusions we arrive at are:
First.—That constant seasonable activity is necessary to promote the health of the regiment.
Second.—Men accustomed to exposure in the open air when attacked by fever of any kind, recover with much more certainty and much sooner in tents than in general hospitals in houses, probably because less crowded and admitting more perfect ventilation, and free access to light.
