MEDICAL SURVEY OF THE TOWN OF TAYTAY. 



XI. TABLE OF PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS. 



By Fred B. Bowman, Leoncio Lopez, Vicente E. Manapat and Vicente Rivera. 



The following table gives the results of 789 physical examinations 

 which for the most part were made b}^ Doctor BoAvman^ of the Biological 

 Laboratory, Bureau of Science, and Doctors Lopez, Manapat and Rivera, 

 recent graduates of the Philippine Medical School, with the assistance of 

 various members of the expedition. 



Clinical histories were taken of all cases and the cards containing them ■ 

 have been carefully reviewed. In a number of cases in which a diagnosis 

 had been made tentatively it was changed in the present table to "indefi- 

 nite," in view of the fact that it was frequently difficult to make an 

 accurate diagnosis of obscure conditions in the short time available for 

 the examination of many of the cases. 



Of the 789 examined, 558 complained of some form of disease; the 

 remainder were apparently healthy. The 9 cases of cholera are not 

 included in this table.
