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."
