The small number of children is accounted for by the fact that these 

 patients are cared for in another clinic. The majority of the cases of 

 infection are seen during the second, third, and fourth decades, with a 

 considerable number in the fifth and sixth decades. The ages are some- 

 what greater than the average found in many clinics, a condition which 

 may be explained by the more generally chronic character of the disease 

 in the Tropics. 



The social condition of the patients does not give data of any con- 

 siderable importance, as the majority of the cases belong to the lower 

 classes, who are very similar in habits and customs. 



Occupation is shown in the following table:

Ninety-one of the patients were students, 29 Government employees, 

 17 cooks, and 18 servants. The last are particularly interesting, because 

 by vocation they must of necessity for a considerable part of the day 

 be placed in rather close contact with persons whose lives are particularly 

 valuable. During the past year six students of the Philippine Medical 

 School were found to be suffering from phthisis. 



Weights, according to ages, are shown in the following tables, but they 

 are not of much value for comparative purposes because there are no 

 similar tables referring to healthy Filipinos which may be used as 

 standards.
