UNCLASSIFIED. 



Organic disease of internal organs. 



There are some minor peculiarities of this classification, a recollection of which 

 will be found of assistance in obtaining a clear understanding of the tables. 



Thus, men who claimed to be suffering from rlieumatisni were not exempted unless 

 the affected limb exhibited evidence of change of structure, such as wasting of the 

 limb, or pufKness of the joint. 



By syphilis is to be understood the secondary form of that disease, with impaired 

 constitution ; primary syphilitic ulcers did not exempt. 



The term chrcmic alcolioUsm applies to gross habitual intem])erance ; delirium 

 tremens did not exempt. In fact, drunkenness is not mentioned as a disqualification in 

 the official instructions ; but an impaired constitution, the result of the constant abuse 

 of stimulants, or of indulgence in the habit of masturbation, was an authorized ground 

 for exemption. 



By loss of teeth, is to be understood the total loss of the incisors, canines, and first 

 molars at least of one jaw.
