The ratio of non-notified Tuberculosis deaths to the total
Tuberculosis deaths was 1 to 24 as compared with 1 to 8.88 in
1934 and 1 to 11.57 in 1933.
It will be seen that there has been a marked improvement in the
ratio for 1935 as compared with the previous year.
It is also satisfactory to record that the requirements of the
Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1930, are generally
speaking closely observed by medical practitioners in the area.
