INSTRUCTIONS.

The declaration must be made before a judge, Clerk or Deputy Clerk of a Court of record.
If the declarant, or any witness, signs by mark, the officer must certify that the contents of the paper were made known to the affiant before signing. In every case the declaration or affidavit must either be signed by the affiant's own hand or else by mark (X). Signing by another hand when the party is able to write, or without a mark when unable to write, is not admissible.
If the applicant be an invalid pensioner, he must be examined by an Army Surgeon or by an Examining Surgeon appointed by the Commissioner of Pensions, as to the continuance of his disability, unless the disability is of a character to continue permanent, such as a loss of a limb: which should be stated in his declaration. If a widow, she must prove by two credible and disinterested witnesses, her continued widowhood. If the guardian of a minor child, newly appointed, he must file evidence of his appointment as such.
