During 1912 we had three different sets of regulations, each
affecting a different kind of person, or perhaps the same person in
different aspects, depending upon whether at the moment he was being
treated by a poor law medical officer, the medical staff of a hospital, or by
a private doctor. These complications increased our difficulties of
administering the regulations with success, but my staff and I did the
best we could in the circumstances.
