The annual report OF the Supervising Surgeon
General Of the Marine Hospital Service for the

creaslng and a larger number of sailors receive
the benefits of the service year by year. During
the year just closed 80 6l0 sailors received relief
at the different hospitals and dispensaries. and
II lncurables received transportation to their
own homes An increase in the number of
patients is shown over last year OF 1850 In
addition to the relief furnished. 305 seamen of
the revenue marine service have been examined
preliminary to shipment; 1884 pilot have
been examined for color blindness (of whom
116 were found cOlOr-bnd) and 81 seamen
were physically examined for the light
house and merchant marine services
Concerning the physical examination of seamen
as preliminary to shipment, the report says that
the "blOod money is the obstacle to it's thor
Ough enforcement and that is likely to continue
as long as the advance wages system is permit
ted to exist. No objection is now made to the
examinations for color blindness, the pilots
themselves being generally convinced of it's
utility. The recommendation made last year for
