Paragraph 5 (confirmed consumption) should express the fact that a tendency to consumption, or incipient consumption, does not expect; and paragraph 22 should be so worded as to diminish the number of rejections for loss of teeth.

These proposed alterations, with some minor modifications and changes in the number and order of the paragraphs of the official list, so as to facilitate the classification and enhance the value of the statistical returns, are herewith submitted for your consideration.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

R. H. COOLIDGE,

Medical Inspector, U. S. Army.
