87. From August 1903 up to June 30th, 1907, 76 patients
had passed through the Council's beds at the Sanatorium, and
the following table shows the condition of these up to February
1st, 1908.
At work and well 34
At work but relapsed 2
Ill and unfit for work 6
Moved and not heard of 8
Died 26
76
All the 34 at work and well were seen or heard from this year
(1908); four of the eight moved and not heard of went to
Canada and three of these were well and at work six or twelve
months ago; two others were well at these dates.
It may be safely estimated that 40 of the 76 are now well and
at work, or fit for work.
88. H. C. was at the Sanatorium two months, left in June,
1905, much improved though still with distinct symptoms; not
finding work in Woolwich he went to Canada in March, 1906,
and got work on a farm. He had excellent health while there
and, having saved enough money to pay his return passage,
thought he would spend Christmas at home and unfortunately
caught cold on the journey. His disease recurred and he again
obtained admission to the Sanatorium, recovered, returned to
Canada, worked for six months, again relapsed and was sent
home by the Emigration Office.
89. The following table, recommended by the Local Government
Board shews the condition in each subsequent year of the
survivors from the cases treated in each year. The difference
between the numbers dead and the survivors in any year shows
the cases lost sight of.
