The following tables give a summary of the work carried out at the
Dispensary. It is gratifying that so many patients are sent to the Dispensary
by their own doctors, as the co-operation between the local practitioners and
the Dispensary organisation vastly increases the utility of the campaign
against tuberculosis.
