Synopsis
Excerpt from Camp Morton: Reply to Dr. John A. Wyeth
I prefer to quote the whole paragraph rather than divide it, and place the last section under the answer to the charge of starvation. In the article Cold Cheer at Camp Morton, and also the Rejoinder, it is sought to convey the impression that the great cause of sickness was found in the limited supply of rations. And yet the sickness is accounted for on a far different theory by the very best medical and surgical authorities during the war.
