    During 1937, fewer cases were admitted to Public Assistance Institutions in the Riding ; there were 19 cases so admitted compared with 35 cases for the previous year, and 12 patients had received previous advice or treatment at other hospitals. 1 he 7 patients, who were admitted to the Council’s Institutions without having had previous hospital treatment, were in an advanced stage of the disease. Having regard to the high mortality and the probable high incidence of cancer in the community, the number of cases treated is very small, and one wonders what treatment, if any, is being provided for the sufferers from this disease other than those mentioned above. Deaths in Sanitary Districts from the seven chief causes. 1 1 Cancer. Heart Disease. Respiratory. Non- tuberculous. Tuberculosis. Pulmonary. Tuberculosis. Non- pulmonary. Other Circulatory Diseases.
