The Madanapalle Union Mission Tuberculosis Sanatorium is doing beneficent work and is most worthy of public support. The Report which we have received is for the year October to September 1917-18. Some facts will be of interest to our readers. It is not generally understood that the Madanapalle Institution is primarily a sanatorium and not a hospital. During the year a larger number of men patients than usual sought relief in an advanced stage of consumption; so that the sanatorium was more like a hospital than a health resort to combat tuberculosis, in its earlier stages. Many women were admitted for relief during the earlier stages of the disease and the percentage of recoveries was consequently larger. The total number of males admitted was 159 and women 128, and the number discharged was 151 and 118 respectively.
