Note.— At the end of the year 13 children, were receiving treatment in
Sanatoria and all were doing well.
The results of treatment of children under 16 years of age
are analysed in this table. All these cases were treated only during
1914, and they are classified according to the type of disease (pulmonary
or non-pulmonary) and the treatment given, whether at
Sanatoria or at the Dispensary alone. No tuberculous children
are treated in the Borough Hospital.
