Synopsis
Excerpt from Statement of the Object and Methods of the Sanitary Commission: Appointed by the Government of the United States, June 13, 1861
The Sanitary Commission was created by Government in June, 1861.
Like every other organ of our National energies it has been steadily gaining strength ever since that time. The resources that have been put at its disposal, and the work it has been enabled to do, far exceed the most sanguine hopes of its founders. Its aggregate receipts (including the money value of supplies sent to its depots) are believed to exceed the income of any other benevolent organization, American or Foreign, during the same period.
The objects of this paper are, first, to state what has been done with these great public benefactions; and, secondly, to enable the People to determine whether it will or will not pro mote the National cause, by enabling the Commission to continue and extend its efforts.
A large portion of its resources has been expended on measures for the prevention of disease. Their result is necessarily nega tive and cannot be stated with certainty. The low rate of mortality from disease in our Armies has unquestionably been due in some degree to the warnings and labors of the Commis sion. But it is impossible to say how much other causes have contributed to it, or to distinguish their effects from those due to the work of the Commission.
