All men enlisted for the artillery arm of the service at a military post or assigned to that arm from a depot shall, before such enlistment or assignment, besides undergoing the ordinary examination, be examined especially with a view to establishing the fact of the patency of the Eusta-chian tubes and the integrity of the tympanic membranes, in default of which the men are unfit for that...
