PAGE THREE Here Are Physical Requirements For New Army 8 Saturday Will Be The Big Money Saving Day at This Collosal

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1917

All registrants of June 5, without regard to any claims of exemption that may be set up, are subject to the physical examination, which is the first step in the exemption board administration after the numbers have been drawn in Washington. Copies of the physician's primer, setting forth briefly Just what regulations are to be followed In making these physical examinations and what , defects make exemption Imperative, are at the draft board quarters. The text of the regulations, prepared by the surgeon general of the aimy, follows: It is important, to begin with, that the examining physician should realize that there will be a certain proportion of men among those presenting tnemselves for examination who will t ndeavor to obtain exemption by dissimulation, varying from exaggeration of an existing condition not disqualifying to downright malingering, and he should be prepared to protect the government and himself against such attempts at deception. The physical examination should take place in a large, well lighted . room. The person examined is to be stripped. The examining physician should proceed In substantially the following order, viz.: (a) Observe the general condition of the skin, scalp, and cranium, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, face, neck, and chest Take weight, height, and chest measurements. Accepted measurements are as follows, all chest measurements to be taken on a level just above the nipple: Chest meas't At explra-

Variations Allowed

The following variations below the

standard given In the tables are per-

' ulsslble, when the applicant is active,

has firm muscle and Is evidently vigo.ous and healthy:

Chest at Weight

Height (inches) expiration Lbs. 61 and under 64 1 8 . 64 and under 68 2 10 68 and under 69 2 12 62 and under 70...... 2 15 70 and under 73 2 20 73 and upward 2 , 24 To be acceptable men below sixty-

four inches In height must be of good

physique, well developed and muscular. , . Variations In " weight above the standard are not disqualifying unless sufficient to constitute obesity. Unless '' exceptionally well proportioned men above 6 feet 6 Inches in height should X)Q rejected (b) The arms being extended above the head, backs of hands together, the applicant Is required to cough vigorously: any form of rupture may now be discovered by the hand and eye, but still better by the index finger passed up to the external ring. Third Feature of Inspection (c) The arms remaining extended above the head, the applicant is required to take a long step forward with the right foot and bend the right knee, the genital organs are now conveniently exposed and varicocele and other defects in the scrotum may be .recognized. (e) Examine heart and lungs; rate af pulse of respiration. (f) Upper extremities: Make sure that all joints are free and supple, from the phalanges to the shoulder. (g) Lower extremities: The person under examination is required to leap directly up, striking the buttocks with the heels, to hop the length of the room on the ball of first one foot and then the other, to make a standing . Jump as far as possible and repeat It several times, to run the length of the room In double-time several times, after which his heart and lungs are examined. Mental Examination (h) Mental The mental examination should be such as to develop

whether or not the man examined is possessed of normal, sound understanding. (1) Vision To determine the acuity of vision, without glasses, place the person under examination with back to a window at a distance of twenty eet from the test types. Examine each eye separately, without glasses, .covering the other eye with a card (not. with the hand). The applicant Is directed to read the test types from

the top of the chart down as far as he can see, and his acuity of vision re

corded for each eye, with the distance of twenty feet as the numerator of the

fraction, and the size of the type of

the lowest line he can read correctly as the denominator. If he reads tho

twenty feet type correctly his vision

is normal and recorded 20-20; if he

does not read below the thirty feet type, the vision is imperfect and re

corded 20-30; if he reads the fifteen

DON'T WAIT

Take Advantage of a Richmond Citizen's Experience When the back begins to ache, Don't wait until backache becomes chronic; 'Till kidney troubles develop: 'Till urinary troubles destroy night's i est. Profit by a Richmond Citizen's experience. Mrs. W. Brown, 532 S. 13th St., Richmond, says: "About two years ngo I found It necessary to use a kidney medicine. 'Another of the family had found Doan's Kidney Pills so beneilclal I got a box at Thistlethwaite's Prug store and they were just as successful In my case. I haven't had any trouble since and I feel sure that they have cured me. 1 gladly advise anyone to use Doan's Kidney Pills when troubled by backache or Irregular action of the kidneys." Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's

feet type, the vision Is unusually acute and recorded 20-15, etc. (J) In accordance with these conclusions, the minimum visual requirements are as follows: 20-40 for the better eye and 20-100 for the poorer eye, provided that no organic disease exists in either eye. Acuity of Hearing (k) Hearing To determine the acuity of hearing, place the applicant facing away from an assistant who is twenty feet distant and direct him to lepeat promptly the words spoken by the assistant. If he cannot hear the words at twenty feet, the assistant should approach foot by foot, using the same voice, until the words are repeated coirectly. Examine each ear separately, closing, the other ear by pressing the tragus Armly against the meatus. The examiner, whose hearing should be normal, faces in the same direction as the candidate and closes one of his own ears in the same way as a control. The assistant should use a low conversational voice (not a whisper), Just plainly audible to the examiner, and should use numerals, names of places, or other words or sentences until the condition of the applicant's hearing is evident. The acuity of hearing is expressed in a fraction the numerator of which is the distance in feet at which the words are heard by the candidate and the denominator the distance in feet at which the words are heard by the normal ear; thus 20-20 records normal hearing, 10-20 imperfect hearing, etc. If any doubt should exist as to the truthfulness of the answers given, a watch should be used, care being taken that the individual does not know the distance from the ear at which it Is being held. The watch. used should be one whose ticking strength has been tested by trial on a normal ear. The hearing with both ears open should not be below 10-20. Causes for Rejection ' 3. The following defects are causes for rejection: Mental Lack, of normal understanding. v Skin Chronic, contagious and parastic diseases; when severe and extensive; chronic ulcers, deep or extensive.

Head Abrupt depression in skull, the consequence of old fracture. Spine Curvatures, caries, abcess. Lateral curvature Is cause for rejection when It exceeds one inch to either side of the line of spinous processes,, especially when It throws the

shoulders out of symmetry. Ears All catarrhal and purulent forms of otitis media; perforation of tympanum. Eyes Acuity "of vision below the requirements of paragraph 2 (j); conjunctival affections, including trachoma and entropion, strabismus, disease of the lachrymal apparatus, exophthalmos, ptosis, asthenopia, nystagmus. Teeth Important Mouth, nose and fauces Deformities interfering with mastigation or speech, chronic ulcerations, fissures or perforations of the hard palate, hypertrophy of the tonsils sufficient to interfere with respiration or phonation, loss of voice or manifest alteration of it. The person must have at least four serviceable molar teeth, two above and two below on one side and two above and two below on the other side, and so opposed as to serve the purpose of mastication. A good fitting bridge or plate where not more than one-half of the teeth are involved is not disqualifying. Obstruction of nostrils or four discharges indicative of ozena. Simple atrophic rhinitis is readily curable. Nasal polpi often mean

chronic sinusitis, but are not a bar to acceptance for military service. Sunken or scarred nose is often indicative of syphilis, while the red bulbous nose suggests alcoholism or indigestion.

Neck Pronounced goiter, great en

largements or ulcerations of the cervical glands. Chest Disease of lungs and heart, especially in flat or narrow or malformed chests. In examining the heart care must be taken not to ascribe to disease-the hurried, sharply accentuated action sometimes due to

nervousness, fright or embarrassment, or the irregular action caused by the

excessive use of tobacco. . Nor should

the examiner attach undue importance to the soft systolic murmurs often heard In growing athletic youths, functional and temporary In their

nature.

. Digestion Important. Abdomen Chronic inflammation of

the gastro-intestinal tract, including

chronic diarrhoea and dysentery and other diseases of the contained organs; great care should be exercised before exempting for these conditions; hernia in all situations. Anus Hemorrhoids of a pronounced type, prolapsus, fistula, and fissures. Genito-urlnary organs Syphilis vho discernible by inspection and physical examination; tight urethral stricture, undescended testicle, chron

ic disease of the bladder and kidneys

Varicocele does not constitute a cause

for rejection unless it is so large as

to interfere with locomotion; It fre

quently occurs among the most jrotust men and often without their being aware of Its existence. Gonorrhea,

acute and chronic, is not disqualifying,

but individuals so affected should be advised immediately to secure appro

priate medical treatment pending receipt of order to report for duty.' Rheumatism, Etc. Affections common to both extremities Chronic rheumatism and dis

ease of the joints of disabling type, ir-

leduclble dislocation or false joints, old dislocations if attended with Impairment of motion or distortion of the joint, severe sprains, chronic synovitis, badly united fractures, caries, necrosis, atrophy or paralysis, extensive or adherent scars, permanent contraction of the muscles. Hands Webbed fingers, permanent flexion, extension or loss of motion of one or more fingers; loss or serious mutilation of either thumb, total loss of any two fingers of the same hand, cr loss of the second and third phalanges of all the fingers of either hand. Lower extermities Pronounced varicose veins, especially when attended with edema or marks of ulceration, pronounced knock knees, club feet, flat feet, webbed toes, bunions, overriding or marked displacement or deformity of any of the toes,, hammer toes. The shinbone if rough,' nodulated, and tender suggests syphilis. ' Flat Foot Described. A broad, flat sole is common in laboring classes, particularly among Negroes, and is in no way disabling. In the flat foot which renders a man unfit for service the arch is so far gone that the entire border rests upon the ground, with the inner ankle lowered and very prominent and the foot apparently pushed outward. Flat feet are not Infrequently the result of tuberculous process. 4. Any of the physical deficiencies mentioned above must be present in euch degree as to clearly and unmistakably disqualify the man for military service before he can be found to be physically deficient and not physically qualified for military service. Temporary Defects. 5. Temporary effects of acute disease or of an injury are not to be regarded as justifying a finding that the person so affected is physically deficient and not physically- qualified for military, service, but may be regarded as justifying a reasonable delay in completing the physical examination In order that an opportunity for recovery may be afforded. 6. Upon the recommendation of the provost marshal general, medical officers will be directed, from time to physical examinations are being conducted and conclusions based thereon. Such medical officers will be authorized to re-examine men whom the local boards have-found to.be physically deficient and not physicially qualified for military service,, and will be required to make a report of each such re-examination. 7. These regulations may be modified at any time by the president of the United States. -
