Of these one hun- dred were confined to their beds, thirty were very sick, and perhaps fifteen or twenty would never recover. " The hospital food consisted of beef-tea, beef-soup, rice, milk-punch, milk, gruel, lem- onade, stewed fruits, beefsteak, vegetables, and mutton. White sugar was employed in cooking. The supplies were, in fact, more ample and abundant than in hospitals where our own men wei-e under treatment."
