MEDICAL EXAMINATION
DAY TO BE DEC. 6

NEW YORK, Dec. Sixty per
cent of those called TO the new United
States Army have been rejected by
the army doctors for physical unfit
ness" says the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
bcrculosis in designating December 6
as National Medical Examination Day.
"Of the LOO men, women and chill
dren recently given general exam
ination In birmingham, Mass, so per
cent were found to be suffering from
various disease conditions. Most Of
these defects were those which early
discovery and treatment would pre-
vent from becoming serious trouble
or cause of early death"
These facts are urged by the Ma.
tional Association as reasons for plac.
ing greater emphasis than ever on
Medical Examination Day.
The National Association. in co.
operation with other organizations, is
advocating an annual medical exam.
inatiion for every person. sick or well,
and this date has been set aside as
one OF the feature days OF Tuber.
culosis Week, December 2 to 9. Anti.
tuberculosis associations, state and
local boards of health, women's clubs
and other societies are cooperating
to interest everyone possible in the
subject Of at least one medical ex
animation year, preferably on this
special day. Physicians will make spe.
cial arrangements 10 devote December
TO medical examinations. and clinics
and dispcnsaries will prepare to re.
ceive those who cannot afford to pay
n physician.
The compulsory examination Of TO-.
100000 OF our citizens for army draft
purposes has given n new impetus
TO tho annual medical examination
idea and particularly to the anti.tuber.
culosis phase of the movement. For
tuberculosis alone from / per cent TO
per cent of these men are being
rejected, which means sharp re-
vision upward OF previous expert csti.
mates Of the prevalence of the disease.
On this basis at least 100000 of these
men will be found to be tuberculous.
Most Of these cases, the experts de.
clare. would never have developed had
the preliminary symptoms been dis.
covered and treated in time. These
results, II II pointed out. clearly in.
dictate tho wisdom OF extending the
periodic examination TO all citizens.
The examination at birmingham Is
an intensive experiment in connection
with the three year demonstration in
community tuberculosis control, being
carried on by the National Associa'
ton. Among the 100 persons ex'
amined there last spring, II previous
~ unexpected cases OF tuberculosis
were discovered. or all the 1877 cases
of sickness found 81 per cent were
entirely preventable when taken In
time. The majority OF these people
supposed themselves perfectly well.

Keep needle valve clean and adjust
