Total number of quarts supplied was 11,744. Cases requiring relief were referred to the Social Welfare for attention and where homes were in need of other forms of relief than that administered by the Social Welfare Commission the nurse directed them to the proper Social Agency. There are many angles to Tuberculosis work, but the problems presented, when the patient is the wage earner for the home and forced to cease work, are often greater than the problem of taking care of the patient. The Department continued to supply material for the prevention of spread of infection and medical supplies, etc., for the use of the patient. In conclusion, we wish to express in this report our sincere appreciation for the assistance given us by the staff of the Municipal Hospital, Margaret Scott Mission, Social Welfare and Medical Inspection Department of Public Schools; without the co-operation of these bodies we feel sure the results attained would not have been so favorable. Yours obediently, W. J. T. WATT, Chief, Division of Communicable Diseases.
