When conscripts have been sent to camps of instruction, or to regiments in the field, after being pronounced...fit for military service, they can thereafter be discharged only in accordance with the regulations..." ; "II. In case there is reason to believe that any conscripts to camps of instruction are disqualified, the commandant will order a medical examination, and forward a report, fully setting forth the grounds of disability..." ; "IV The compensation of surgeons employed under the act of congress...will be $5 per day..."
