The abuse of sick-leaves and surgeons' certificates has grown to be so great that it becomes necessary to invite the special attention of officers making the certificates and the authorities granting or recommending the leaves to the absolute requirements of the Regulations on this subject. Officers whose ailments could quite as well be treated at their proper stations as elsewhere are permitted to leave their commands; others, whose disorders are caused by some local influence, are permitted to leave the military departments in which they are serving, when a temporary removal to some other station within the department would alleviate their sufferings; still others are granted sick-leave who, while possibly physically incapable of discharging the severer duties pertaining to their positions, could perform many duties of a lighter nature at the posts at which they are stationed, or whose services might be usefully employed at other posts in the department. It is believed there are instances where medical officers have given certificates of disability on the representations of the applicant alone, without making that searching inquiry into the supposed disorders or what possibly caused them which is expected of them as experts and which it is their duty to make. No inconsiderable number of officers are now absent from their proper commands in consequence of this abuse, who. it is believed, should be rendering some service to the Government; to prevent this in the future, it is made the duty of department commanders to examine with greater scrutiny every certificate of disability sent to them. If satisfied the disorder does not arise from the vicious habits of the applicant, their first inquiry should be whether a temporary relief from the more arduous duites and rest from the cares incident to their positions would not accomplish the desired end; if not, whether a temporary change to some other post in the department would secure relief. Authority to go beyond the limits of the department on sick-leave is contemplated by the Regulations only in two cases: first, where it is necessary to save life; and secondly, where it is necessary to prevent permanent disability. Leaves granted to sick officers to go beyond department limits, when the certificates do not place the cases beyond question within the extent of this regulation, must be ordinary and not sick-leaves.
