34 Ga. 66

Cody v. Rhodes

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, O. J.

The only question in this ease is, whether the certificate of a single physician is sufficient to exempt from liability to military service. The act of vacating all previous exemptions required rules to he prescribed by the Secretary of War. lie required a medical Board to act in ease of alleged physical disability. It was competent for the Secretary of War to make the rule, and therefore the certificate of a single physh cian will not answer.

Judgment Affirmed.
