There are three sessions a week. Monday afternoon is devoted to females, Tuesdays and Fridays to males. A great number of cases appear at the clinic with diseases not of venereal origin. As all these cases have to be recorded in the Department Register they appear in the returns, thus the list includes tinea, pleurisy, eczema, elephantiasis foot, trypanosomiasis, etc ; this last case was treated at the clinic with tryparsamide for convinience. No attempt has been made to draw all the diagnosis into line they have merely been sorted and listed as originally diagnosed and registered. E. J.
