Water for the Wounded
   The sick and wounded soldiers who travel on our Railroads would be very grateful to the superintendents of our Railroads, if they would furnish an abundant supply of good cold water for them on the cars. Wounded men are generally thirsty, and whether on or off the cars, it is almost impossible for them to obtain water at all times when they want it. We have made this suggestion at the request of a friend, and we trust the authorities of the different Roads will make such provision in this respect as will meet the wants of our sick and wounded soldiers.
