The number of refills given during the year totalled 4,011 (3,477 in 1946) this number including those given to out-patients. Treatment by Pneumoperitoneum was carried out on 10 cases, 259 refills being given (17 in 1946) ; this method of treatment has many enthusiastic advocates but our experience so far indicates caution and at least another 12 months experience is necessary before forming a balanced judgment. In addition to the above treatment 151 aspirations with air replace¬ ment were carried out. Statistics. During the year ended 31st December, 1947, 453 patients have received treatment and of these 163 were in residence on 31st December, 1946, and their treatment extended into 1947. There have been 274 new cases admitted and 12 re-admitted from the County General Hospital, Worksop, 2 from County Institution, Mansfield, 1 from County Institution, Basford and 1 from Mansfield General Hospital. Of this grand total of 290 cases, 148 were men, 118 women, 15 pulmonary children and 9 non-pulmonary children.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29925290_0061.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
