EVERY medical officer in the fed eral service who examines appli cants for enlistment must certl ' fy in the ase of a successful appllcaut that "be has no mental or physical de fect disqualifying him for service In the United State army." I To the layman the tests made ofteu ' seem unduly severe. Even civilian pby bklaus are apt to consider the line too strictly drawn. In the examinations for the training camps the candidate often appeared with a certificate from his physician stating that he was "fit 1 for service" arid was extremely indig nant when he was rejected by the army surgeon who made the examina tion. The result was that fur niuny days the newspapers contained letters from candidates who asserted that they bad always been "perfectly well," had al ways "played tennis and golf" and were star athletes at school and col lege. The answer might be made that war is neither tenuis nor golf and that even the perils and vicissitudes of the college athlete, from the bruises and fractures of the football field to the more Insidious dangers of ice cream sods, are hardly comparable with trench warfare. The common belief is that the regula tions for the examination for the re cruits are a sort of medical red tape, the requirements being based largely upon chuuee, as though several army sur geons had sat around a table and care fully thought out a series of physical requirements without any special rule or reason for most of them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some of the Diseases That Ab solutely Bar One From Serv ice Eyes and Teeth Must Be Good Flat Feet Keep Many Out of the Ranks. Oo you tire easily? Do you feel ex hausted in the morning when you wake up? Have you rJachjed the point where you have no strength left to overcome fatigue. trulls must often be rejected for dii eaxe or dlsubillty which under the con it ions of civil life would be expected to cause little or no Inconvenience. The recruiting circular from the ad jutant general prescribes a table of av erage weights for the various heights as follows: TAKUi OF PHYSICAL THOPORTIONa (.'hunt Measurement At llxplra Mobll Heiht. Weight. tlon. Uy. (Inch;.) (round. t (Inches.) (Inches.) Then you certainly meed a tonic, one that will act quickly and surely. T ! You donl want any guesswork about tt, either. Do not take stimulants or nauseating oily mixtures, but Just take a concentrated tonic one 5 grain tono Ii tie tablet before each meal and at bedtime will produce wonderful re sults In a few days; just try it. Gardner Drug Company report having a wonderful sale on tonoline tablets. From thj Medical Press I)r. O. M. F, says: For all run down, enemic, exhausted conditions I have found 6-grain tonoline tablets ad quickly an most effectively, iney should not, however, be used by peo ple who do not wih to increase their weight as they are the greatest known flesh builder. 1.4. is UK ii 141 Ui 134 lli: W.I IT 32 XI 34 34 34 351.4 WILLIAM REID DALTOV ATTORNEY AT LAW T Rsldsvllle, N. 0. r (Several practice of the law In BtaU and Federal Courts.

WORSHAM, DENTIST RuSa.N.C Two Points Considered. ; The recruit is chosen from two points of view: First, the United States as an employe. Does he have the necessary intelligence and the required education to make a good soldier? By education are meant his commnnd of the English language and his apparent ability to understand and carry out commands. Second, the physical qualifications of the recruit. Has he sufficient physical endurance to carry out the daily routine of a soldier, and has he or can he de velop sufficient reserve force to stand up under the strain of unusual physi cal exertion ? No matter how well a soldier serves during what might be called his normal activities, be is worse than useless If he becomes an addi tloua I burden to the army during pe riods of unusual stress. In general, to pass the examiner the candidate must be reasonably normal in appearance. Even the layman can understand that an army of cripples would be a poor army. A perceptible limp in one private in a company will succeed in putting the other men out of step, thus making the march much more difficult for the entire company. The applicant must be able to carry his rifle and packs, to kneel, to shoot and in other ways to perform the movements required of a soldier In a normal manner. A slight stiffness of a Joint, if it does not interfere with his duties, does not disqualify. Skin Diseases Disqualify. The man must not be objectionable to his tent mates. For this reason skin diseases, even if harmless, are disquali fying. Even the simple acne, or pim ples, if severe enough to be positively disfiguring, may serve as a bar to en listment. In the same way uncleanly habits which would make a recruit ob jectionable to other soldiers are con sidered disqualifying. The general diseases which disquali fy require only brief mention. The acute diseases, such as acute bron chitis, typhoid fever, measles, scarlet fever, malaria and many others, may act only as a temporary bar, the enlist ment being made after recovery. In- deed. In some cases, If the condition is mild and permanent disability unlike ly (for example, a mild Influenna), the applicant may be enlisted and kept in the hospital until cured. Of the chron ic 'diseases,'' tuberculosis, Brlght's dis ease, chronic heart disease and chron ic venereal diseases are the most fre quent causes of disqualification. Iu such cases the medical officer deter mines the desirability of the applicant by deciding whether in his opinion the recruit will in the future suffer disa bility ns a result of the existing ail ment, the decision being reached after consideration of the applicant's pre vious life and training. If an appli cant Is suffering from any form of pulmonary tuberculosis or any other form of chronic debilitating disease he Is rejected, even if he is the most prominent athlete In college and Is otherwise In excellent physical condi tion. ' Naturally many of these rejects wll finally be cured and will then person ally testify to the Inefficiency of the army surgeon and the total lnaufflcien ey of army regulations which reject Individuals who later prove to be sound and healthy. In each cases It should be remember ed that the surgeon does uot certify that the applicant Is certain to become disabled if enlisted In the army. He merely certifies that. In his opinion, the applicant has a condition which U apt to cause disability under condi tions lncldant to active service. IU- "It is not necessary that the applicant should conform exactly to the figures Indicated In the foregoing table. The following variations below the stand ard given In the table are permissible when the applicnut is active, has firm muscles' and Is evidently vigorous and healthy: . Chest nt Ex Height. piratlon. Weight. (Inches.) (Inches.) (Pounds.) 01 and undi'r .... 2 & and under t3 2 12 i9 anil under 70.. 2 15 TO and upward. 2 a) "Marked disproportion of weight over height is not a cause for rejection un less the applicant is absolutely obese." The requirements have been careful ly worked out, add the minimum re quirements are strictly adhered to. It has been found that out of a number of individuals who were lielow the minimum standards a surprisingly large number finally develop some form of chronic disease which was not evident on the first examination. In very exceptional cases, in which the surgeon is convinced that the applicant is otherwise unusually well qualified, special authority for enlistment of can didates slightly under the minimum may be secured from the adjutant gen, eral. . Eyes a Stumbling Block. The eyes are another stumbling block. Circular No. IKS, war department, 1009, requires that the applicants for the Hue of the army and for the signal corps shall have the following vision or better: 20-40 for the right eye and 20-100 for the left eye, provided that no organic disease exists in either eye. The applicant is tested by requiring him to read black letters of various heights at a distance of tweuty feet. If lie is able to read the line in which the letters are tbree-elghtus of an inch high he Is said to have normal vision. In the hospital corps and the ord uance corps the visual requirements are not so severe as the above. Defects of bearing are disqualify ing. The hearing Is tested by having the applicant stand with his back to ward the examiner at a distance of twenty feet. While an assistant stops one ear the examiner whispers words or phrases, and If these are heard he records the bearing as 20-20. if the words are not heard the examiner walks toward the applicant until the whisper can be heard and records this distance as the numerator. The story is told of an Irishman who, when disqualified on account of a defi cient number of teeth, wanted to know if be was expected to bite the enemy. This apparently makes the require ments as to teeth ridiculous, but nev ertheless they are most Important The soldier who must have special food prepared because he is' unable to mas ticate is a burden to the army. False teeth, while satisfactory for civilian occupations, are not satisfactory for military requirements. Foot trouble la one of the greatest causes of rejection. Every year more soldiers are discharged on surgeons' certificate of disability because of foot trouble than are discharged for pulmo nary tuberculosis. The most common cause of foot disability is flat foot. The total discharges for disease in 1012 were 1,001), or 13.43 per 1.000. This Is a very low rate, but when .It Is considered that many of these were discharged for conditions which ex isted befc-e enlistment it is at once apparent that if it had been possible to detect these cases before the gov ernment had gone t the expense 'of en listing aul tiaii.iui those i.oldlers a couslderablo saving mlg'it have been made. Of sixty-nine cases of fiat foot during 1012 only two developed after enlistment, la two years from a com paratively small army the equivalent of an entire company of men was dis charged for this one disability. Mental diseases and alcoholism must both be looked for by the examining surgeon, but they are less easily de tected than itouie of Jhe other condi tions already mentioned. 1 In general the surtreou must examiue carefully for any evidence of disease and then, bearing in mind the common ranses of discharge for disability, make up his mind whether the applicant Is nualifted or disqualified. .
