Phthisis.
There was a decrease in the number of cases of dysentery as compared with 1875 by
523, but there was a slight increase in the death-rate from them. But little difference was
observable in the number treated or in the death-rate from diarrhœa; but what there was,
appears to have been in favour of 1875 in respect of admissions and of 1876 in the matter of
mortality.
Dysentery.
Diarrhœa.
