The Municipal Tuberculosis Dispensary
The work of the Tuberculosis Dispensary has increased very
largely for the reason stated on page 28 namely : that a large number
of men were discovered to have the early stages of Phthisis by the
Military Medical Examination Boards and these Boards referred them
to the Public Health Department for advice, which led to them being
added to the clientele of the Dispensary. A summary of the work of
the Dispensary is included in the following Table :—
