Any Soldier now disabled. no matter from
what cause, except from his own vicious habits
can Now get pension.
If he already draws a small pension on some
slight disability, and is disabled from labor by
some other cause even il it did not occur in the
service he can get an increase on the latter dis
ability, provided he is unable TO earn a support
by labor. Thousands of Pensioners, who now
draw less than twelve dollars per month will be
entitled under the new law to an Increase, on
| some other disability than that on which thew
are now drawing pension.
In order to be entitled to the benefit of this
AeD Lar, /. is not required that the Soldier must
| all Soldiers, whether rich or poor provided only
that they are incapacitated from manual labor
! in such a degree, as to render them unable to
earn a support
This law requires in a soldiers case: ~ An
honorable discharge. (2) That he served at
least ninety days. (3) A permanent physical
or mental inability to earn support, but not due
| TO vicious habits. (lt need not have originated
in the seryice) The soldier is entitled TO any
rate from SO to SI2, according TO inability to earn
asuPport. A pensioner under existing laws may
apply under this one, or a pensioner under this
one may apply under other laws, but can draw
only one pension &C the same time.
The soldier or peusioner will please answer
these questions-need not re-copy the questions.

is numbered. Please write only on one side of
your letter; paper is cheap, and it Will be great
convenience to me. when written only on one
