Asked to Correct Defects.

"rt is highly desirable" said Sur
geon General Blue, "that the men
found to be disqualified for military
service by the examining physicians
of the local draft boards should re-
cetve definite instructions as to the
meaning of their disabilities, and that
a strong appeal be made to them to
correct these disabilities. as far as
possible. But the object Of this meas
ure is not only to reclaim men for
military service, or for such service
as they can perform, but to lessen
the burden Of illness and disability
among those engaged in essential In
dustrial work. 1t is hoped that the
instruction in this circular, which is
really primer Of the physical defects
Of the nation. will reach far beyond
the draft board and be utilized by all
agencies interested in improving the
public health to instruct the people
with regard to their physical de-
flciencies and the ways and means
by which they can be remedied."
The circular issued by the public
health service is entitled "Inforna-
ton for Guidance and Assistance of
Registrars Disqualified for Active
Military Service Because Of Physical
Defects" It is q four-page leaflet,
containing specific information re-
lating to the commoner causes OF
rejection.
