66 An average of 36 patients are now treated every year at a cost of £500, or £14 a head, in the Council's beds at Peppard Sanatorium, Of the 57 patients who were discharged from the sanatorium up to the end of 1906, 19 are now well and at work, 3 are not well enough to work, and 27 have died, leaving 8 who are unaccou...

Presuming that the above proportions hold for the patients treated each year, we have two.thirds of the patients sufficiently restored to health to work for nine months, and consequently earning four times the amount that their treatment has ...

These latter diseases are more easily diagnosed than those of the stomach and intestines, and the fact that the former appear to have decreased, and the latter increased, strengthens the opinion that the supposed increase of cancer is largely due to improved diagnosis. It is seen from the two tables that cancer affects...

A notice having been served to provide a proper and sufficient supply for the tenants on the top floor, the owner fixed an additional tap outside of the house on the same level as the existing tap in the basement, but approached without the necessity of going to the basement.

If this is the case it is obvious that an impermeable layer of concrete on the sites of the houses would diminish the unhealthiness of persons living in the district.
