January 28th, 1913, where she remained for 2 months, and gained 8 lbs. in weight.
Her breath sounds were weaker on the right side, but no adventitious sounds
could be heard. Her progress at the Sanatorium was quite good, especially during
the second month. Exercise and drill have much improved her breathing. The
improvement was well maintained during the 12 months that have elapsed since
she left Maitland. She had no cough and her nutrition was good. She attended
at the Victoria Park Hospital on two occasions during this period.

fair condition until Christmas, 1913, when she seemed to lose ground, and two
months afterwards, she had Haemoptysis. Since then she has been attending at
the Victoria Park Hospital, and has lost one stone in weight.
S.S., aged 38, of Cressy Houses, was admitted to Fairlight Sanatorium on April
28th, 1913, where he remained for 3 months, and made fair progress. On his
discharge the Medical Superintendent was of opinion that the disease was still
active and the patient had considerable amount of cough, due to his throat
condition, as well as to his chest trouble. He was informed that he ought not to
work in London, and might have fair health if he were in good surroundings
On his discharge he attended the Stepney Green Dispensary. His throat symptoms
have not improved. He has lost all the weight he put on at the Sanatorium. He
continued at his work as a traveller for 5 months but had not been able to work
regularly since. The family, which consists of man, wife, and two children,
