I the undersigned physician resident of the State and county aforesaid, do solemnly swear that I have carefully examined John E. Mobley, who is personally known to me to be the person above applying for a pension under the laws of Florida, and find that he is suffering from chronic bronchitis more pronounced in the left larger bronchial tubes. There are also 2 pile tumors on right side of anus, and engargement of veins all around the sphincter ani.  In my opinion his condition is such as to prevent his earning his living by manual labor.
