Gardiner, A .DM.S No, 3 Dis- trict Urges Men to Go Before Med- ical Officers. Col. Gardiner, A.D.MS_of No. 3 District, Kingston, which stretches northward to Pontiac county, assur- ed the Ottawa Citizen that more med-' ical boards are being orgamized and will be at work in the former Base Recruiting Office at once. These will be sufficient with the old boards to overtake all the medi- cal examinations cards issued, and provide immediately medical exam-| ination for all young men coming pq from outside points tributary to Ot- tawa. These young men always have had precedence in the examin- ations over local or Ottawa men who are near the baard. But the A D.M.S. wishes to empha- size the importafice of men wishing examination to go before the medi- cal boards of their own, or the near- est town to their home where medi- cal boards will sit, such as Smith's Falls, Carleton Place, Renfrew and Pembroke, etc. their examinations and save time and travelling expences. These men who get examined be- board elsewhere, hoping--for a poorer. phy&'cal classification, will only waste their time, as in the sorting pout of a'l medical sheets the dupH- cation will be detected, and the man will be kept in the highest class : shown 'by his examinations.
