The Ladies' Aid has provided a respirator which is a valuable addition to our armamentarium and will no doubt result in the saving of the life of some of the new born, for this the staff is most grateful.
The cooperation of the staff at all times has been most gratifying. The efficiency of the nursing corps under the direction of its efficient head has rendered most excellent service and to them we owe a large share of the successful ac- complishment in extending comfort and restoring to health the mothers and saving the lives of the newborn.
Respectfully submitted for the Obstetrical Staff, Joshua W. Clarke, M. D., Chief of Obstetrical Service.
To The Board of Managers,
and the Members of the Staff of The Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen :
This is the first annual report of the department of anesthesia to be sub- mitted to you. It covers the work done during the year 1930.
It is desirable to call your attention to the fact that since the opening of the hospital the administration of all anesthetic agents has been entirely in the hands of the visiting staff. This has resulted in the establishment of a department in which the recent developments in the selection and methods of procedure in the application of various agents have been adopted and maintained with marked success. This is particularly noticeable in our freedom from post-operative pulmonary conditions.
In the production of anesthesia it is no longer considered sufficient simply to render the patient insensible to his surroundings and pain. It is very properly insisted upon that the patient should feel confident that his condition will be care- fully watched, his vitality will be maintained, the effect of the operation reduced as much as possible and his recovery from the anesthesia be comfortable and free from complications.
In striving for these objectives this department has endeavored to maintain the high standards set by the other sections of the staff. Also in this report may I render my personal thanks and appreciation to Dr. J. W. Battershall and Dr. W. M. Stobbs, my loyal co-workers on this service; to the members of the Surgical, Nose and Throat and Obstetrical Staffs for their patience and cooperation in our efforts and also to the operating room staff for their unfailing assistance.
Appended is a record of the cases treated:
The local anesthetics have been almost entirely administered by the surgeon in charge. The general and spinal anesthetics have, with very few exceptions, been administered by the members of this department.

To The Board of Managers,
and the Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen:
The employment of physical measures in treatment forms an intergral part of the routine in every modern hospital. Physiotherapy is a necessary and valuable adjunct to other forms of therapy to relieve pain, to promote repair of tissues, to restore function, to improve the patient's general condition, and to shorten convalescence.
There seems to be a large field of usefulness in the hospital for the use of such measures as the application of external heat and for the employment of high frequency currents in the production of heat which may be directed to any portion of the body where it is required. The use of constant current is also practical for its stimulative and chemical effect on the tissues as is also that of the interrupted current of low frequency to produce graduated muscular contractions. Massage and passive motion are used effectively in a variety of injuries that are brought into the hospital and supplement other methods of physical treatment. Practically all the fracture cases referred to the department have had their function restored more rapidly than would have been possible without the employment of physical means.
Ultra violet radiation has proven to be of value both used alone and in supplementing other forms of therapy especially in the treatment of skin diseases, to hasten the healing of wounds, and to improve the patient's general condition.
Following is a report of the number of cases admitted to the department during 1930, and a resume of the disease conditions treated:

To The Board of Managers, and the Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen:
In 1930 there were 3580 individual tests exclusive of urines and surgical sections. Routine urines numbered 3852, an increase of 589 over the year 1926; surgical sections 322, an increase of 37.
In general there has been an increase in the number of different tests although a few show a slight decrease, the decrease showing principally in those tests most commonly applied to medical cases.
Due to the great amount of work required of our one technician it has been necessary for me to do the entire technical work of the surgical tissues. A summary of the various surgical sections is as follows :-

ANNUAL REPORT
TREASURER'S AND AUDITOR'S REPORT
Deficit-General Fund :
Exhibit B, schedule I sets forth the fact that the deficit at the close of 1929, amounting to $9,941.38, had been reduced to $8,866.03 at the close of 1930, the net reduction of $1,075.35 being due to $4,000.00, transferred from trust fund to general fund, minus an operating deficit for the year 1930 in the sum of $2,924.65.
In view of the fact that the trust fund showed a substantial surplus at the time of the transfer of $4,000.00 and no restrictions attached to the use of such surplus we are of the opinion that the transfer was entirely in order. Your attention is called at this time, however, to the fact that no provision is being made anywhere in the accounts for depreciation, and although the property is being maintained in excellent condition, the matter of depreciation appears to require some consideration, so that until such time as an adequate reserve for depreciation is set up out of surplus care appears advisable as regard any further transfers from trust to general fund, which would effect a further reduction in such surplus. .
The deficit on December 31, 1930, as shown in exhibit B amounting to $8,866.03 is based on records kept on a strictly cash basis which do not reflect transactions not yet reduced to cash. To the extent that good and collectible accounts receivable exceed open accounts payable on December 31, 1930 the above mentioned deficit is subject to reduction in arriving at the true condition.
At this writing we are not in the position to estimate the total of good ac- counts receivable outstanding on December 31, 1930, or state the total of open accounts payable, because of the fact that the work of the bookkeeper had not been completed in those departments up to the time our audit work was closed. The necessary figures will be given directly to you by the bookkeeper at a later date.
An understanding now exists to the effect that commencing with the close of 1º30, and each quarter thereafter, all accounts receivable from patients, over one year in arrears as to payment, will be segregated and labelled as in suspense, leaving a balance of receivables which may be regarded as current and collectible.
Campaign :
During the year 1930, transactions in connection with the 1925 campaign were limited to receipts in the sum of $1,050.03 and expenses amounting to $15.92 as set forth in exhibit D, making the net increase in the fund $1,033.05 for the year.
Exhibit E presents a condensed summary of subscriptions, collections, etc., indicating a balance of uncollected subscriptions on December 31, 1930, amounting to $16,910.52. No attempt was made by us to verify this outstanding balance for the reason that the prospects of further collections are so limited.
Distinct checking accounts at two banks are still being conducted in order to facilitate collections. The balances in these accounts form a part of the trust fund cash balances as per exhibit C.
Bonding and Insurance :
The treasurer's bond, in the amount of $10,000.00 was found to be still in force, and fire insurance policies were found on file showing coverage as follows indicating no change during the year:

STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION October, 1929-October, 1930
The regular meetings of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital Aid Association have been held during 1929-1930 with an average attendance of 10. The usual routine of business has been transacted, free beds maintained and supplies purchased by the committee in charge. Mrs. Lawrence Keeler has again very efficiently headed the sewing committee and a total of 2480 pieces have been cut, distributed to the various societies, and returned to the hospital for their many uses. Miss Rice reported the maternity bed was used twice; women's bed, five times and the children's bed, once. A very successful donation day was held November 7, with Mrs. George Rich as chairman. The most important pieces of apparatus purchased during the year were a Chase Doll for use in Nurses' Training School and a Metabolism Machine, also a Henderson Resusitation outfit.

ANNUAL REPORT
SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
To His Honor, the Mayor and Municipal Council, Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
The Health Department presents for your examination and approval its sixteenth annual report. Attention of council members especially is called to this record, which not only attempts to draw a true picture of local public health activities, but which also emphasizes certain department needs and policies re- quiring your consideration. A financial page, the usual statistical data, and reports of sub-departments are appended.
ORGANIZATION
Two changes have occured during the year in the list of appointees.
It seemed advisable to combine the offices of Inspector of Slaughtering and Inspector of Animals. Dr. Frederick L. Briggs, Inspector of Animals, was also appointed Inspector of Slaughtering in place of Dr. Hugh Gaw of North Attleboro. Dr. Gaw was an efficient inspector and served the department well and faithfully for many years.
