(ii.) 2 men received less than one month's treatment.
(iii.) 1 man in Class A died at the Borough Hospital during 1914.
(iv.) 1 woman was admitted twice during 1914.
(v.) 4 men and 1 woman had previously and 3 men subsequently-
received treatment in a Sanatorium during 1914.
(vi.) 1 woman was at the Borough Hospital throughout the year.
In these tables the actual numbers of persons sent to Sanatoria
and to the Borough Hospital at Waddon are shown. Certain
persons received treatment both at sanatoria and at the Borough
Hospital during the year, and thus appear in both tables, but the
details regarding these persons are given in the notes appended to
each table.
In comparison with 1913 the noteworthy point is the number
of children sent to sanatoria. Cases of non-pulmonary tuberculosis
amongst children were sent to the Royal Sea Bathing Hospital
at Margate, pulmonary cases being, with but few exceptions,
sent to the National Children's Home and Sanatorium at Harpenden.
