ABSTRACT THE health of the Navy during 1933 is detailed by the Medical Director-General, Surgeon Vice-Admiral R. W. B. Hall, in the Statistical Report of the Health of the Navy for the Year
1933 (London: H.M. Stationery Office. 2s. Qd. net). In a total force of 83,125, the number of cases of disease and injury was 41,852, a ratio of 503.48 per thousand, an increase of 40–53 in
comparison with the five years' average and an increase of 31.80 in relation to 1932. The increase appears to be mainly due to an increase in the incidence of influenza and tonsillitis.
Malaria, venereal diseases, tuberculosis and injuries, all show a decrease. The total number invalided also shows a decrease. Details are given respecting cases of interest and the
pathological tests and surgical technique employed. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
