In these tables the progress of persons treated in and discharged
from Sanatoria or the Borough Hospital during 1913 is
shown by their condition at the end of 1914 as compared with the
end of 1913 and when they left the institution during 1913.
In these, as in other tables showing results of treatment,
ability for work is taken as the criterion of success, and no attempt
has been made to sub-divide the cases according to their types of
disease, home conditions, age, or other factors. The classification
being thus on so broad a basis, it is especially satisfactory to note
in the sanatorium table (T 9) that out of the 28 persons who were
at work at the end of 1913, 24 were still at work at the end of 1914,
and further, that in the Borough Hospital table (T 10), whereas
at the end of 1913 5 persons were at work and 5 fit for work, at
the end of 1914, 8 were actually at work and 2 still fit for work.
