who were traced, 3 are known to be dead and 3 alive. It is, therefore,
safe to assume that one-half the number of the cases who removed
are probably dead.
Analysis of New Cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis occurring
in 1921, who did NOT attend at the Tuberculosis Dispensary.
Total number of Pulmonary cases who did not attend
the Dispensary 51*
Number known to be alive December, 1925 9=18%
Number known to be dead December, 1925 21=41%
Number removed from the Borough (present condition
unknown) 21—41%
* 50% of the whole of the pulmonary cases notified.
These figures reflect much the same conditions as the first table
of dispensary figures; the deaths and removals in this case being
rather higher than in the table relating to the dispensary cases of
1921.
The figures for 1922 for dispensary and non-dispensary cases are
set out below, and although another year has yet to run before a true
comparison can be made with the statistics for 1921, they already
unfavourably compare with those for that year. Of the 20 new
dispensary cases of 1922 who removed, and condition was unknown, 8
have been traced, and of these 3 are alive and 5 are dead.
