Was it unfit for hospital use?
Was it unsuitahle and umuholesome for the sick and w^ounded in the hospitals ? Was it or not demanded by the exigencies of the public service?
The history of the introduction of this article into the service of the army is exceedingly well given in the testi- 49 mony of Mr. Coleman. The origin of its manufacture by Wyeth is also very clearly shown in the proof. There was at the time this order was given, no other preparation of the like kind known to the Departmen
...t, but that of Mrs. Mur- ringer. Such is the concurrent testimony of all the witnesses except Dr. Cooper.
It had been tried on the Peninsula, and its virtues in part ascertained, and antecedent to the order in question the bloody field of Bull Run had demonstrated the value of the preparation, and the Court cannot have forgotten the testi- mony of Inspectors Coolidge and YoUum, whose simple and touching narratives of its use on that occasion, brought so vividly to view the picture of the thousands of wounded and suffering soldiers, who, after the sad catastrophe of that battle, were in the absence of almost all other suste- nance nourished and kept alive by the timely supply of this very article, administered to them for successive days by these witnesses, who were thus enabled to save, as they have sworn, the lives of thousands of our soldiers not sim- ply by the intrinsic nutriment of the extract, but because of the peculiar facility and rapidity of ■ its preparation for use.
