C. P. Ingram. There has again been an increase in the work done at the Clinic. Of persons attending for the first time, tliere is a small net increase, a decrease in the number of females being more than made up by a larger number of new cases among the males. The total attendances of all patients shows a consider- able increase, particularly among th males, which for the first time have passed 4,000, and is largely due to improved attendance per patient,- and is gratifying in showing that they appreciate what is being done for them and try to help in their cure. In the female department I am again much indebted to the Female Enquiry Officer for the way she has followed up the cases and aesiSlted in their regular attendance. It would not be fair I think, in spite of these figures, to consider that Veneral Disease in the County is on the increase. Though the number of medical men in practice in the County who are competent to, and do, treat the diseases is probably increasing, yet in an industrial neighbourhood such as is served by the Clinics the majority will avail themselves of the facilities offered there, and the size of the clinics give probably a-^^ir idea of its incidence, and, as is seen, the increase in the work of the c^ics is due more to an an increase of attendances per patient than in actual new cases of the disease. The drugs used as Salvar-san substitutes remain the same as last year. There is a considerable increase in the number of doses of Bismuth compounds,](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28861450_0074.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
