Eighteen per cent of the deaths from all causes in the Borough were due to cancer
compared with l8 per cent for all deaths registered in England and Wales.
VENEREAL DISEASES. The Special Clinic for the investigation, follow-up and treatment
of venereal diseases is held at Queen Maryfs Hospital for the East End, Stratford, under the
direction of the Consultant Venereologist, Dr.F.G.Macdonald, to whom I am indebted for the
following statistics. (The figures in brackets are the corresponding ones for 1957)-
The total number of patients who attended was 579 (538). This figure includes 122
already under treatment or observation at the beginning of the year.
New Patients 457 (402)
Total attendances 2,940 (2,979)
The diagnosis was as follows:-
Syphilis in the primary or secondary stage 0 (0)
Syphilis in the early latent stage 1 (0)
Syphilis in the later (non-infective) stages 8 (13)
Congenital Syphilis 0 (0)
Gonorrhoea 92 (8l)
Urethritis 77 (6l)
Other Conditions 241 (188)
Cases previously treated elsewhere 22 (14)
Return cases 16 (19)
The term "Other Conditions" includes vaginitis and cervicitis in women and various
non-specific genital lesions in both sexes, not necessarily venereal in origin, but there
is usually good reason for this possibility to be excluded.
