Mr. VANWINKLE. When this bill was previously before the Senate it was objected to by the Senfrom Iowa [Mr. Grimes] on the ground of its being allege thata fever sore had ensued from a fever, the man had a deformity from that, and was discharged in consequence. On looking at the report and evidence afterward I found that that matter was really of no consequence, as the sore itself occurred while the man was still in the service, and the deformity ensued, and he was discharged honorably from the service in consequence of the deformity. I have, neverthe less, desiring to be enlightened, looked into the nature of these fever sores and I find from worcester’s Dictionary that “fever sore is the common name of a species of caries or necrosis;” that “ necrosis is mortification, particularly mortification or lifeless state of a bone.” Caries is “ulceration or rotteuness of a bone; curiosity.” Webster says “fever sore” is “the popular name of a carious ulcer or ne crosis, ” and that “necrosis” is “among physi cians, mortification, the dry gangrene; among surgeons, an inflammation of a bone, termi nating in its death.” I have also a letter from a physician in this city, which was procured for me by ‘Dr. Evans, Senator elect from color"ado, saying: Fever sure is defined to be acropnlar name for a curious ulcer. commonly cause by the death of bone. The parts of the body wheresuch a condition occursareupon the bones.hands. the feet and the lens. The causeswhich producesucha malady are injuries, bruises, and any cause that will seriously depressthe vital forces. Contractions and deformities of the part invariably ensueutter such a disease. injuring the usefulnessand strengthof the part.” I think the case was entirel satisfactory except as to this one oint; an I presume that if these definitions have not removed the diificulty on that score, the fact that the sore occurred while the man was still in the service and in the line of his duty, and that he was discharged from the service in consequence of his being unable to render military service, will be sufficient to satisfy all. The bill was ordered to a 3rd reading, was read the 3rd time, and passed. HOPESTILL BioELow.
