It is of interest to note that with an attack-rate for Phthisis
of 5.16 and a death-rate of 1.9, the average period of time from
the recognition of the disease to the death of the patient should
be 2.71 years.
That this disease will disappear is not to be expected, and
all that can be hoped from the present crusade is that this average
period of 2.71 years will be lengthened.
The following details have been collected from the notifications
sent in under the " Tuberculosis Regulations for 1913 —
Under Form A (Primary Notification).—Phthisis, 101 ; other
Tubercular Diseases, 59.
Under Form B (School Cases).—Phthisis, 4; others, 4.
Under Form C (Admitted to Institutions).—Phthisis, 24;
others, x.
Under Form D (Discharged from Institutions).—Phthisis, 32 ;
others, 2.

The highest is seen to be in the West Ward. The attack
rates were 6.2, 6.0, 4.0, and 6.5.
