Cases of Tuberculosis in the District. As in recent years,
every endeavour has been made to see that the notification
register correctly represents the number of cases of tuberculosis
in the district. Deletions from the register have been
made in the case of patients who have died or have left the
district, or have been lost sight of, or who may be regarded
as cured.
