What kind of diagnoses did the new institution make in these cases? The findings of the system show that the 1.111 who twere discharged were found to have an average of about two major troubles, ahd sev- eral minor ones. In other words, on this group there were 10,131 dlag noses, of which 2,208 were considered major, and 8,858 were considered minor. There were 146 general opera- tions, 97 speclal operations, such as for the eye, ear, nose and throat, and 2,025 dental treatments. The 1,101 persons who entered the hospital came in with a record of 1,890 diagnoses. In the process of elimina- tion it is shown that 955 diagnoses which had previously been determined elsewhere were “not found” to exist by the diagnostic clinic. Something of the nature of the diffi- culties and diseases which afflicted the veterans is disclosed by the figures showing that out of the 1.111 persons discharged 630 were suffering from nervous diseases. 263 with tubercu jlosis, 548 with that class of trouble known as orthopedic, including injury to the hones, muscles, etc., and 157 with circulatory trouble, of which only 79 were major. Prevalence of disease in the eve, ear, nose and throat is shown by the fact that there were 1,839 diagnoses of this type, or more | diagnoses than there were patients, | showing many men were doubly and | “Milk of Magmesia” had skin trouble. The- hospital is rated as having 250 bed capacity, but at present there are orly 140 patients. Cobham Reaches Penang. PENANG, Straits Settlements .\‘@p—l tember 8 (#).-—Alan J.
