Remarks on the effective combating of contagion by cleanliness, ventilation and the application of fines; the catarrh epidemic in the fleet was attributed to the return to colder weather but was found to be epidemic on land also; at one time there were 120 on the sick list, an additional hospital birth [sic] was fitted up and the tepid bath was used. Observations on the surgical practice in other ships following the battle of Copenhagen; expresses the opinion that an unduly high proportion of amputations performed immediately after the action resulted in death while in those performed a few days later the patients survived; when amputation is performed while the vascular and organic system is excited by battle an immediate collapse of the vascular system follows; more effort should be made to save limbs if possible; suggests ways of controlling haemorrhaging and setting bones by enlarging wounds which can then be closed and dressed with adhesive plaster; many tailed bandages should also be used instead of circular rollers because they can be removed and changed more easily.
