The total number of cases of consumption seen by them was 602, and of visits
and revisits paid, 1,105. Of the patients seen 147 were removed to hospital, and in
112 instances disinfection of the premises was carried out.
Each case visited was most carefully investigated with a view to discovering
amongst other things the possible source of infection and the number of contacts.

The information which relates to 303 female and 299 male patients has been
analysed and is tabulated on the following pages.
