Of 2232 men discharged for phvsicnl

The report estimates that 2.100.000

The geneini conclusion reached bj

"In the report en national vitality
prepared by 1'ref. Irving Fisher for the

port, "it was estimated that there were
about .". 000.000 persons serious! ill at
all times in the t'nitcd States nnd that
42 per cent of this illness was pre
ventable with n resulting extension of
life of mere than fifteen yearv
"Even in the short period of time
since that report was issued a measure
of this reduction has been noted. The
estimate of thirteen das annual less
from Illness must new be reduced te ap
proximate! seven. The duration of life
has nctuatlv been extended probably a
period of five years."
