condition was about the same. There has been some return of the symptoms. She
has been undergoing treatment with Tuberculin at the Tuberculosis Dispensary. Her
temperature is normal.
M. W., Raymond Street, was admitted to Maitland Sanatorium on July 17th,
1911, and remained there for 4 months. She gained nearly 7 lbs. in weight, and on
her discharge her temperature was quite normal. She could walk two or three miles
and do housework without difficulty. Fine crepitations could be heard at the apices
of both lungs. Her " general health was excellent and the condition of lungs in
statu quo." Six and half months after her discharge, it was found that there had
been a return of symptoms. On examination, it was found that there was extension
of the disease. She is not doing well.
H. S., Anthony Street, was admitted to Fairlight Sanatorium on August 28th,
1911, and after remaining there for three months left contrary to the advice of the
Medical Superintendent, although there was little or no activity of the
disease at that time. The doctor thought it would have been wiser to wait for a few
weeks longer in order that he might have been tested with the hardest grade of work.
Six months afterwards, there has been no return of symptoms. The pulmonary
condition shows no return of activity. He is doing well.
E. B., Charles Street, was admitted to Fairlight Sanatorium on September 4th,
1911. At the end of 4 months, the Medical Superintendent reported that the patient
was not very robust, but that there was not much, if any, active disease. His general
physique is poor and he doubted his capacity of performing hard work, at any
rate, unless his working conditions were very satisfactory. For the last month his
temperature had not risen above 99 degrees in spite of the fact that he had been
doing moderately hard work, e.g., digging broken ground, scrubbing and garden
sweeping. He had gained 14 lbs. in weight. Two months after leaving the
Sanatorium he had no return of symptons. The chest conditions are apparently
healed. This case also shows a very good result.
A. H. V., William's Buildings, Ann Street, was admitted to Fairlight Sanatorium
on October 2nd, 1911, where he remained for 8 months, when he elected to
emigrate to Canada, where a position was found for him on a dairy farm, and all
arrangements were made by the Sanatorium Authorities. The Medical Superintendent
considered this was the best chance for him. He had done very well at the Sanatorium,
and for months he was doing the hardest forms of manual work without
difficulty or rise of temperature. The Medical Superintendent was of opinion that
the disease therefore was perfectly arrested.
F. C. H., Oxford Street, was admitted to Maitland Sanatorium on October
12th, 1911, where she remained for 4 months. She gained 18½ lbs., and her temperature
on discharge was normal. She could walk two to three miles and do light house-
