CONVICT ROAD CAMP, FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA. 43 
standard of the entire county force in physical condition. This is 
indicated in a measure by the fact that 35 per cent of those accepted 
gave a history or showed positive evidence of disease in an infectious 
form. 
The character and amount of the general medical attention received 
by the inmates after assignment are described under the heading 
“Medicine and Medical Attention.’’ In August, 1916, the services 
of the county physician were supplemented by the appointment of a 
dentist to visit the camps. The cost of this service was small, as the 
dentist engaged was a recent graduate who was willing to accept the 
opportunity to acquire experience as part payment for his work. 
Though this step was taken upon the advice of the officer representing 
the Public Health Service, the doctor was not appointed until the 
cooperative arrangement was about to be terminated, and for this 
reason the small cost does not appear in the statement of medical 
expense for the first 6 months of operation. 
Complete records were kept of the diagnosis, duration, and treat- 
ment of each case of illness or injury that occurred in the camp. The 
analysis of these records contained in Table 31 shows that none of the 
illness was serious, and also shows the number of days’ labor lost on 
account of the various indispositions from January 10 to July 10 and 
from July 11 to August 22. The table shows that 31 days were lost 
on, account of sickness during the first inventory period. As there 
were 7,174 convict calendar days in the period the percentage of time 
lost on this account was 0.43 of 1 per cent. From July 11 to August 
22, the percentage was somewhat larger on account of the large 
number of injuries.
