I feel confident that the death rate would have
been higher but for this application. It is an
expensive item, as every dose, on an average, costs
nearly half-a-crown.
TRACHÆOTOMY.
Trachæotomy was performed in nine cases, but
in one the child was moribund on admission, and
though the operation was performed at once the child
was dead before it could be completed. Four cases
recovered.
ERYSIPELAS.
Only one case was admitted, at the urgent
request of the Doctor in attendance. It is not a
disease that is supposed to be admitted.
