| persons who are really in i'll health, who can
/ not endure fatigue, who have a decided CON
stitutional iendedcy to diseases which would
certainly be developed by the labors exposures
and privations fan active campaign, need not
/ harrass themselves with fears Of draft, The
United States surgeon. whose business it will
be to examine them, would not take them il
they were ever SO anxious to 60.
Under The Volunteer system, when il was
necessary to raise the largest number Of troops
in the shortest time the army surg cons were
Intentionally lax in their inspections Raih-
er than disappoint the ardent recruit and the
officer whose ambition il was to have his squad
or company in service at the earliest moment,
the surgeons would generously overlook many
cases Of disease. chronic or acute, or physical
imperieetion Rhich totally disqualified man
from becoming good soldier.
Experience has shown that weak, inaIm
soldier Is not only useless for Ggbting purposes,
but is the constant breeder Of discomfort and
Of discouragenent in the ranks. The least ac-
tive exertion. or q nights exposure on pick
ct duty, brings him down 10 bed in the hos
pital, where, regarding him in a pecuniary
point Of view, he is an enormous burden to
the service If he is kept in the hospital he
will cost twice as much as a well man. II he
is discharged and sent home, he will be an
object of pity and horror to his circle of
friends, and perhaps frighten a whole neigh
borhood from enlisting. The rules for the
inspection of drafted men requ ire an average
standard of physical health, as an indispensa
bic condition of acceptance
1t must be borne in mind that the Govern
ment has every imaginable motive for rejec-
ting men who are defective in any important
respect, and no motive whatever for taking
such men. If ten drafted mer ont of one
hundred are rejected by the surgeon, the Gov
ernment loses no men by the operation, but
simply orders another draft to be made to
supply the place OF those who were rejected
The Government gets all the men that it calls
for, and if the surgeon does bis duty gets no.
thing but able bodied men. This is great
advantage to the Government.
Sick men. therefore, need not fear that their
will not be appreciated by the army
surgeons.
