EXPLANATORY NOTE.
Physically Defective Children—Tuberculous.
Attendance at a Tuberculosis Dispensary, subsequent to active treatment, has
been looked upon as preventive treatment and therefore treatment within the
meaning of the Table.
The figures in brackets under this section denote children who are notified cases
of Tuberculosis and are therefore attending a Tuberculosis Dispensary, but in whose
case the disease has been declared "arrested" although the children cannot yet be
said to be " recovered."
