Discharge Notices.—The Metropolitan Asylums Board has
continued to send discharge cerl ificates, notifying us of the return
home of each case of infectious disease which has been sent to
hospital. Each case has been visited by us and a written report
made. The total number of certificates received was 327,
concerning 458 cases of discharge. The result of our visits has
been to find that, apparently, all the patients had completely
recovered (except perhaps some general weakness), with the
exception of 42, in whom were found some definite sequelæ:-
