EDWARD D. GREENWOOD M. C.1
1 The Neuropsychiatric Service of the Station Hospital, Camp Carson, Colorado.
1. Neuropsychiatric patients suffering from alcoholism, epilepsy, neurasthenia gastrica, and especially dementia præcox, have a greater than normal tendency to voluntarily enlist in the army rather than wait for induction.
2. Neuropsychiatric patients suffering from mental deficiency, psychoneurosis (exclusive of neurasthenia gastrica), and especially constitutional psychopathic states have a greater than normal tendency to avoid army service.
