Of the forty-six deaths certified as due to respiratory tuberculosis,
no fewer than twenty-five occurred in early adult life
from 15 to 35 years. Of these twelve were in males and thirteen
in females. Of the total of fifty-one deaths occurring from all
forms of tuberculosis, seven were in persons who had not previously
been notified in this district, as suffering from tuberculosis.
The arrangements for providing treatment for sufferers from
tuberculosis are in the hands of the County Council, and Dr. J. R.
Dobson, the Tuberculosis Medical Officer, has kindly supplied me
