PHYSICIANS’ AFFIDAVIT

STATE OF GEORGIA
Schley County

Personally comes before me, P.E. Taylor, Ordinary of said County, Dr. J.N. 
Cheney and Dr. C.G. Jones, both known to me as reputable physicians of said 
County, who being severally sworn, say on oath, that they have carefully 
examined P.Z. Hill and after such personal examination, say that the present 
condition of applicant is as follows:  

Was wounded in the left leg in the knee & below the knee by shell which as 
troubled him every year since the war.  Said leg is contracted & ˝ inch 
shorter than the other.  This (unreadable) breaks out every year.  The shell 
(unreadable) the larger (unreadable) of the leg & (unreadable) work 
(unreadable) (unreadable) breaks out.  Was also wounded in the left hand and 
left arm which has drawn up the 3 & 4 fingers and wracked (?) the arm,

And that such condition is permanent.  Said condition arises from the 
following facts:  

The  wound in the left leg breaks out every year & the leg being shorter than 
the other causes the applicant to hop in walking.  Said applicant is enfeebled 
from said wound.

We have treated applicant professionally for thirteen years, and his 
condition, as above stated, does not arise from heredity of congenital causes, 
or from vicious or intemperate habits.
