SANITARY RULES EOR CAMPS. 
At a late sitting of the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Jules 
Cloquet gave an account of the report on the sanitary condi- 
tion of the camp at Chalons, by Baron Larrey, one of the 
most distinguished members of the Academy of Medicine of 
Paris, and surgeon in ordinary to the Emperor. 
With regard to the management of horses, the Baron observes 
that “in time of war, horses must, of course, often be exposed 
to the night air, in which case they should be covered with 
blankets. But in a permanent camp, however desirable it 
may be to inure them to the privations they must be ex- 
posed to in real warfare, it is not less necessary to maintain 
them in good condition. Hence they should, as a rule, be 
kept under sheds, and only now and then be allowed to pass 
the night in the open air. Picketing the horses between the 
tents is a very bad plan ; the air is vitiated by their vicinity
