The return of intercurrent disease in hospital calls for no comment. There were nine
deaths, nearly all of which were cases of a kind in which the rules and purposes of the Lock-
hospital were strained out of regard to the helplessness of women who had become very
ill outside and obtained admission by the transparent stratagem which I have mentioned
before.

This table skews; I think, that improvement in the venereal state of the town is making
rapid progress. With attendance at the chief hospitals in 1878, increased by nearly 12,000
persons over that of 1877, the institutions record venereal cases less by 936 than the former
number. This is the best result yet attained, the number being very little above that shown
before the large population resorting to the Mayo Hospital was added to our rolls, that is
before 1875. From the fall since 1875, traced in the column headed by the Mayo Hospital,
this region seems to be rapidly approaching the rest of the town in improvement.
This inference is borne out and its value enhanced by the separate record of primary
syphilis in 1878, as distinguished from the minor diseases.
