The figures in this statement exclude observation cases.
These totals represent the entire number of instances in which several causes (either alone or in combination with others) were considered
to have produced the mental disorder. The aggregate of these totals including "No cause assignable" and "No cause ascertained") will, of
course, exceed the total number of patients, the excess being due to the combinations.
