Mr. G. F. Ferris, the Council's Dentist, reports on the
work performed at the Dispensary during the year. The number
of patients under treatment was considerably less than the
previous year, but it is pleasing to record the increase in the
number of attendances of such patients. There was still, however,
a reluctance on the part of some patients to undergo
fillings.
