Hemingray donates 1000 two ounce bottles to Sanitary Commission

Report of the late Trip of the Sunny

Side.

The plan adopted, as shown by the follow­ing report, of distributing foods in special quantities, in particular quarters, being approved by those who have made observa­tions in this behalf as likewise by the Sanitary Commission, at the meeting last night, we give it publicity:

CINCINNATI BRANCH SANITARY COMMISSION:

M., 4 packages; to do. for General Hospital, 6 do; 18th O.V.M., 2 do; Surgeon 31st O.V.M , 4 do; Surgeon 72d O.V.M., 21 do; Surgeon Sherman’s Division, 9 do; Quarter master Sherman’s Division, 2 do; W.

Thorpe, Surgeon 20th O.V.M., 8 do; Henry D. Wright, Brigade Quartermaster, also 76th O.V.M, 18; Dr. John C. Beck, Surgeon of Curtis’ Cavalry, 26; S. T. Eachelberger, Hospital Steward 1st O.V.M., 3; D. C. Stock, Hospital Steward, 3d Division, 3; J. M. Cooke, Gen. T. W. Sherman’s Division, 13; A. T. Johnson, Assistant Surgeon 48th O.V.M ,4; Dr. Musgrave, Shiloh Hospital, 8; Capt. Staher, Illinois Cavalry, 5; — Lamb, Chaplain 2d Kentucky, 8.

Aside from the above, I distributed in small packages to many Chaplains and Surgeons whom I met at the Landing. I also sent a few packages of fruits &c., to the Sur­geons on board the gunboats Lexington and Tylor, which were received with thanks.

It may be proper for me to add that I dis­tributed one thousand two ounce bottles of diarrhea mixture, the prescription for which was kindly furnished me by Dr. J. P. Jud­kins. The medicine was furnished by the drug stores of C. Reakirt, W. J. M. Gordon, Suire, Eckstein & Co., and Dr. Eberly. I packed the bottles in one dozen packages, and distributed them all with my own bands. Meesrs. Gray & Hemingray very kindly donated the bottles. The position which you assigned me enabled me to dis­tribute this medicine all through the lines; and I am satisfied it will do a large amount of good, as I sent the formula with the pack­age, and the Regimental Surgeons, knowing the ingredients, would prescribe it.

The steamer Sunny Side was detained from Sunday, 4 P. M , until Thursday even­ing in unloading the Government freight-board.

Our stock of provisions bid fair to give out before we arrived at Paducah, on our way home, and I took the responsibility of draw­ing on the United States Quartermasters and Commissaries at Pittsburg Landing, Paducah, and Evansville, all of whom were very obliging.

With this yon will find account of expen­ditures, &c.

                                                   Very truly yours,

                                                                 S.L.HAMLEN.
