"I certify on honor that Phineas H Blood was a sound able-bodied man at the
time of his enlistment
and so continued until on or about the 1st of June 1862 when he became unfit to
perform the duties
of a soldier because of diarrhea."
"Chronic diarrhea and general debility. Said Blood has been unfit for duty
for a long time and is not
likely to be good for any thing. -Enoch Blanchard, Surgeon"
