On reference to the tables it will be seen that as regards the pulmonary form of the disease the incidence is greater in males than in females, but is more marked in females between the ages of 15 and 25. It will also be noted that more deaths occur in young women, but after the age of 35 more men are fatally affected. The non-pulmonary forms of the disease occur mainly before adult life is reached, and are particularly fatal during the first years of life. In the succeeding years, the disease is more chronic, and, whilst resulting in much disability and ill-health, does not often cause death. The non-pulmonary forms arise from infection through tuberculous milk and from open cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. The following show the number of primary notifications received since 1913 :— 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 1918 19191920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1722 1399 1233 1048 873 856 699 642 929 971 1029 974 1232 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 19321933 1934 1400 1106 1194 1017 1021 1129 1074 1011 929](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b3013206x_0095.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
