breathing was good, and she was free from cough. She made excellent progress
while at the Sanatorium. 3 months afterwards, there had been no return of
symptoms nor any sign of a return of activity.
6 months after her discharge, she had lost about 5 lbs., but her physical signs
were practically normal. There was no cough or temperature.
2 years afterwards she appeared quite well, and has had no illness since her
return home. She had no cough or expectoration, but attended the Whitechapel
Dispensary periodically.
L. G., aged 8, of Selby Street, was admitted on November 13th, 1911, and
discharged on October 11th, 1912, having gained a stone in weight; her temperature
was normal, and walking capacity 3 miles. The Medical Superintendent reported
that the patient was much better in general health, the physical signs in the chest
being much less, but there was a considerable area of disease. This appears to
have become of a chronic nature, but is not interfering with the child's ordinary
life. Her temperature was steady, and she had very little cough. She kept well for
about a year after her discharge. Since then she has lost weight, and her condition
is not so good, but she has no cough. She attends school regularly. She has not
been attending any dispensary or institution for medical treatment, and apparently
has had no cause to receive medical treatment.
H. S., aged 37, a tailor's cutter, of Selby Street, was admitted to the Fairlight
Sanatorium on November 1st, 1911. The Committee considered the report as to
his condition on September 26th, but on account of the recent dock strike and other
domestic circumstances, he was allowed to remain at the sanatorium until the end
of 1912, when he was taken on as a porter at the Sanatorium. He has since been
employed as sculleryman at the Sanatorium, and at the end of 1913 was in good
health. He has not been off duty on account of ill-health since he became a
member of the staff.
L. C., aged 18, a tailor, of Terrace Place (now of Brook Street), was admitted
to Fairlight Sanatorium on December 7th, 1911, and left on April 13th, 1912. On
his discharge he was enjoying excellent health, and was fit to return to work. He
gained 20 lbs. in weight, and the Medical Superintendent considered that the disease
was arrested.
15 months afterwards he was the same weight as when he went to the
Sanatorium, and attended the Stepney Green Dispensary.
2 years after he left the Sanatorium he felt quite fit and well. He had
no cough, expectoration or night sweats.
M. T., aged 39, of the Philpot Street Synagogue (now of Dunstan's
Buildings, Brook Street), was admitted to Maitland Sanatorium on January 29th
