Tuberculosis Dispensaries.
The accompanying tables of figures give an analysis of the work done at
the three Dispensaries during the year. The lines upon which they have
worked have varied little from those of the previous year, and particular
attention has been given to the preventive side of the problem.
Treatment has remained small in comparison with past years, the
Dispensaries functioning more as "clearing houses'' for the tuberculosis
coming under their notice.
New Patients.
Table I. shows the number of patients examined for the first time.
These figures do not include the " contacts " examined, an analysis of which
will be found in Table II.
