Cases notified after the death of the patient are not now regarded
as notified cases. Frequent reminders have been sent to the doctors
attending these un-notified and late notified cases calling their attention
to their duty to notify all cases of Tuberculosis which they attend.
Of the non-pulmonary cases dying un-notified or before receipt of
notification, almost all were due to either Tuberculous Meningitis or to
Miliary Tuberculosis and of the similar cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis,
the majority were cases admitted to hospitals who died within a
a very short time of admission. Among the notified cases (pulmonary
and otherwise) dying before the end of one year from date of notification,
7 were due to Meningitis, 2 were inmates of mental hospitals ; 8 had
been seen at the Dispensary and 18 had not been so seen but were
either hospital cases or admitted to hospital immediately after
notification.

Revision of Notification Register.
During the year 219 cases of Pulmonary and 55 cases of NonPulmonary
Tuberculosis were removed from the Register of Notifications
either as cases in which the diagnosis was not confirmed or cases
which were considered ''cured" and not needing further supervision
or as having died or left the district.

Disinfection was carried out in 330 rooms, and articles of bedding,
clothing, &c., were removed for sterilization.
