The class of case admitted during the year has been similar
to those in past years. Three advanced cases were discharged to
Dagenhain Sanatorium compared with two in the previous year.
The results of treatment as usual have been highly satisfactory.
It has been pleasant to hear of many old patients now
at work, some of whom were very ill at one time. It is, however,
a matter of regret to find some who responded well to treatment,
after keeping well for a time, have later come to Dagenham, and
still more regrettable to feel that had it been possible to keep them
under suitable surroundings they would have remained well.
With confidence, I can only again refer to my remarks in
the report of 1933, where many suitable cases can be saved on
economical lines from serious relapse.
