CHAPTER VII.
MEDICAL CERTIFICATE.
All applicants for the Postal Service must have this certificate
executed.
Questions 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and the parenthetical part of question
13, are not required in the case of female applicants.
This certificate need not be executed for examinations at second
and third class post offices. When the result of examinations at
such offices is determined, the highest four eligibles will be
required to furnish the certificate.
Applicants for the Postal Service (male and female) who are
defective in any of the following-named particulars will not be
appointed by that Department: Deaf-mutes, hunchbacks, persons
having defective hearing, sight, or speech; persons totally blind
or blind in one eye; one-armed, one-handed, or one-legged persons,
or those having crippled arms or legs, and those suffering from
asthma, consumption, or hernia. The applications of such persons
will, therefore, not be accepted.
1. What is the applicant’s exact height in his bare feet? (The
physician must himself measure and weigh the applicant.)
2. What is the applicant’s exact weight in his ordinary clothing,
without overcoat or hat?
3. Did you yourself weigh and measure the applicant?
4. What is the condition of the applicant’s sight? (If possible,
the test should be made with Snelen’s cards, and expressed in
twentieths.)
If the applicant has any defect of sight in either eye, describe
fully.
Is the defect in sight corrected by the use of glasses?
5. What is the condition of the applicant’s hearing? (State the
distance, in feet, at which he can hear the ticking of a closed
watch held in the open hand, testing each ear with the other
plugged.)
If he has any defect of hearing of either ear describe fully.
6. What is the condition of the applicant’s speech? If he has any
defect of speech describe fully.
7. What is the condition of the applicant’s limbs?
If he has any defect in either arm or in either leg describe fully,
and state to what extent it interferes with the proper function of
the limb.
(Varicose veins, ulcers, or any deformity should be specially
reported.)
