DIRECTIONS. 431 



Sobriety ought to be in forced by severe discipline. 



Barracks serve many good purposes. The men ban t>* 

 more regularly messed, their diet and persons more easily in- 

 spected, and spiritous liquors more perfectly restrained. 

 They ought to be built on rising grounds, at a distance from 

 marshes. The ceilings should be lofty, and the rooms well 

 ventilated. 



Military Hospitals. — The director should be a physician, 

 with power from the commander-in-chief to form a well-di- 

 gested plan for its management^ by a medical board, com- 

 posed of a physician-general, surgeon-general, a principal sur- 

 geon, and purveyor.
