Bed-ridden Cases.— Ninety-six of the patients were
bed-ridden at the time of notification. They included 56 males
and 40 females. Fifty-eight had been confined to bed for periods
ranging from one week to one month, 5 between three and six
months, 2 between six and twelve months. Patients who are not
