Note 3 — Chapter XLVII · NIKOLAEFSK.
Reading edition
In 1878 there entered the hospital 347 cases, suffering from 39 diseases, of which the principal were: bronchitis, 46; syphilis, 42; fevers, 39; pleuritis, 26; internal cold, 18; rheumatism, 14; and so on in diminishing numbers. During the six months immediately preceding my visit they had received but 83 patients, whilst for the entire year and a half 13 patients only had died. Besides these they had treated a large number of slight ailments of out-patients, and given advice to promiscuous applicants to the number of nearly 3,000.
