1929.
Malaria. There were 346 cases as compared with 448 in 1929.
Diphtheria. Out of 26 cases there were 9 deaths (41 cases with 24 deaths in 1929). This high mortality was due to the fact that the majority of cases had the disease well advanced before they were brought for treatment.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis. There were 137 cases treated with 40 deaths.
Syphilis (acquired) accounted for 104 cases as compared with 96 in 1929; Gonorrhoeal cases numbered 142 as compared with 101 in 1929. The figures are too small and the factors too numerous for any useful conclusion to be drawn.
