(3) Between ages of five and 25, more females are affected than
males, while the reverse holds good in the higher age
groups.
Table LVI. gives the condition of the same patients at the
end of the third year of treatment, showing, firstly, the results
in all cases, whatever treatment they received, and secondly, the
results in those of them who received Sanatorium and Tuberculin
treatment. The numbers who received Tuberculin treatment
appear to be too small to< subdivide according to the results
of the sputum examination.
