Tables illustrative of the Lady Inspectors' work amongst consumptives in the four years,
are subjoined. Attention may be drawn to the table (at p. 54); which bears eloquent testimony
to the fact that consumption is a disease of the poor. Of the 355 cases investigated in 1905,
only twelve were of persons in a more or less well-to-do position—all of them died—the remainder
belonging to classes of the population able to contribute, the great bulk of them obviously
nothing, and the rest but little, if anything, towards the cost of sanatorium treatment.
