Dr. L. U. YOUNG (the Tuberculosis Medical Officer) reports:
"The work of the Dispensary has continued steadily throughout
the year; 353 Sessions were held, with an average attendance of
112.
"There was a slight increase in the number of new case attending,
but a decided decrease in the attendance of old cases, due to
various causes. Insured persons are now always referred to their
Panel Doctors for treatment and only come up at lengthy intervals
for supervision. Many old cases have ceased to attend altogether,
