MONTHLY REPORT OF
DR.. GEORGE EAVES
Three Patients Discharged
From Anti-TuberculOsis
Camp as Well

The sanatorium report for Apr1
shows a total number of patients caree
for in the month of April of SS. 20 oi
whom have been on the free list and
nine of whom have been admitted dur
ing the month; Ii have been discharged
Attention is called to the very in
teresting fact that one young girl has
been discharged as apparently well, and
two men as apparently well. one wht
was detained for short time on sus-
picion has been discharged as non
'tubereular and four as improved. Al
though we have to add that one dice
at the camp, and three have gone away
10 die among friends, the months re-
port is an admirable illustration of the
work done by the association. Add tc
the others who have been discharged
proving, IL of whom are still in thf
camp, and you have a statement which
means that In Is cases actually handled
during the month of April the disease
is being arrested, or maybe reckoned
cured" so far as indications go. In
one instance child of 12 or 13, it has
taken 12 months to establish these re-
suits is the work worth while?
I'm educational work the secretary
has visited three points and given lee
lures, besides giving great activity in
the formation of the Alabama Sociologi-
cal congress, a large part of whose
object is to awaken the conscience OF
the whole state to the health defence
work everywhere needed.
We also submit the dispensary re-
port which shows a total of 1877 visits
made under the direction of our super
vlsing nurse, resulting in the sending OF
nine cases to the sanatorium and thre.
negroes to the almshouse. \ satisfac-
tory fact is that 50 large a number
of our past patients come up to the dis
ve1sary for re-examination.
The secretary gratefully acknow-
ledges gifts in aid of certain poor pa.
tients otherwise unprovided for, ane
urges members who have not paid theii
dues to favor him with remittance al
an early date.
