1928.
Malaria.-There were 448 cases as compared with 273 in 1928.
Diphtheria-Out of 41 cases there were 24 deaths. This high mortality was due to the fact that the majority of cases had the disease well advanced before they were brought for treatment.
Syphilis (acquired) accounted for 96 cases as compared with 154 in 1928; gonorrhoeal cases numbered 101 as against 215 in 1928. The figures are too small and the numerous factors make it difficult to draw useful conclusions.
