TABLE No. 19. 



Material. — This table presents the results of the examination of 334,321 men of 

 various nativities, and belonging to the four classes of recruits, substitutes, drafted men, 

 and enrolled men. 



Out of this body of men, the number found fit for military service was 211,705, 

 being 633.239 in the thousand of the whole number examined. 

 Purpose. — To show the age of the men rejected for disease. 

 Construction. — The list of diseases, as in the last table, extends tkrough five 

 pages. Age is divided into six periods in the following manner : 

 Men under 20 years. 

 Men 20 and under 25 years. 

 Men 25 and under 30 years. 

 Men 30 and under 35 years. 

 Men 35 and under 40 years. 

 Men 40 years and over. 



Each column denotes a period of age, and has placed at its head a statement of 

 the total number of men examined at that age; it then extends through the entire list 

 of diseases, and contains the number of men rejected for each disability, with the pro- 

 portion which that number bears to the whole number examined. 



Totals. — As in the preceding table, the horizontal lines of totals are of three 

 kinds: the line of "Total" shows the number of men of each period of age rejected 

 under a subdivision of diseases; the "Grand total" gives the same information for the 

 class of diseases ; and the "Grand total for all diseases" (at foot of page 465) shows the 

 total number rejected at each period of age for all diseases. 



The vertical columns of totals exhibit the number of men of all ages rejected for 

 each disease. 



Ratios. — These refer, in every instance, to the number examined, as stated at the 

 head of each column.
