The data in these papers represent a continuation of the work published in 1924,¹ including a follow-up study over a period of from five to six years. Some of the patients originally studied were dropped because they had discontinued hospitalization, and others were substituted. Table 1 therefore serves to reconcile the old and new numbers, each number always indicating the same patient.
