The object of this book, which is published before the issue of the Ecport of the Hospitals (Commission is to place on record in a complete form the case I have brought forward against the medical arrange- ments in the South African War, which led to the appointment of the Commission. It therefore contains everything I have said or written on the subject in public. That there is need for such a record has been amply demonstrated for months past by the many misrepresentations which have grown up around my action, and by the constant demands for inft)rmation and for copies of the statements I have inade. The best answer in both willcases be a full and accurate recital placed in the hands of the public. Those who accuse me of attacking the General in the Held, of mahgning the Army doctor, and of insulting the Briti.sh soldier or of sentimentalism, precipitancy, ; and un- reasonableness are welcome to search ; these pages for their proofs. On the other hand, probably not one in every thousand persons who have discus.sed the subject- "matter of Article ix.
