Many of these results arc surprising. Septic complaints were 62 compared with 238 last
year, due to the milder hot weather.
V.D. and Malaria were completely reversed. The low figure of 46 for V.D. last year rose
to 116, while Malaria declined from 184 to 22, a remarkable achievement.
Injuries also were a great deal lower.
Altogether a successful year except for Venereal Disease.
