GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
As the medical conditions of the various Colonies differ within wide limits, absolute uniformity in the Reports is unattainable. In case of doubt as to the particular form the details of his Report shall assume, the reporting officer must use his discretion, endeavouring as much as possible to conform to the general plan of the Model Report, and bearing in mind that the object of these Reports is to collect reliable information and to present it in a useful and readily available shape.
Unless there be some very special reason for so doing, it is not desirable that the reporting officer should arrange the statistics of disease according to
months.
Reports of disease statistics from all hospitals should be forwarded, the principal Medical Officer using his judgment in regard to other details mentioned in the Reports of his subordinates.
As regards the list of diseases, the judgment of the reporting officer must be exercised. There are several Colonial diseases which do not find a place in the nomenclature of the College of Physicians, and about which information is desirable. Provided that the reporting officer entertains no doubt about the special and specific nature of these diseases, he should mention them in his returns, taking care at the same time to indicate, in a note or otherwise, exactly Beriberi what is meant by the term under which he elects to return such cases. should be returned as such and not as neuritis.
The names of the particular diseases and parasites grouped under the headings "Local Discases" should invariably be specified.
