Tuberculosis.
Under the Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations
a register of all notifications is kept and
weekly returns of cases are sent to the County
Medical Officer. The continual movement of cases
from one district to another requires constant
supervision so that particulars can be brought up
to date and represent a true record.
At the end of the year 208 persons were shown
to be suffering from the disease and living within
the district:— Pul Non-Pul
Males 79 34
Females 73 22
