Gentlemen:
The following is a summary of the work done in the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Department of the hospital for the year 1931. There was a total of 358 operations, of which 318 were tonsillectomies and adenectomies. Not all of these were done by the members of this service, a number being done by other members of the staff. The other surgical procedures were as follows :-
6 Submucous resections of nasal septum
3 Excision of nasal polypi
2 Paracenteses
1 Reduction of fractured nose
1 Incision and drainage of old mastoid sinus
4 Incision and drainage
22 Mastoidectomies
1 Removal of foreign body from eye
38
ANNUAL REPORT
There were two deaths-one cerebellar abcess and one lateral sinus throm- bosis following mastoidectomies.
I wish here to express my appreciation to the other members of this service for their cooperation and assistance, to the other members of the staff who have given their services as consultants whenever called upon, to the superintendent and to the nurses for their faithful and conscientious work.
Respectfully submitted,
A. C. Conro, M. D., Chief of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Staff
To the Board of Managers,
and the Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit to you a brief report of the work done on the medical service during the year 1931.
The report, unfortunately, is not complete owing to unfinished statistical data.
The service showed an increase in the number of patients admitted during the year, 139 as compared with 122 for 1930. The report of the Public Health Service estimates the total sickness of the country as a whole a little over 8% less than during 1930. If the lessened sickness be reflected in our city, it shows an absolute increase in the service rendered by the department during the year 1931.
The following is a brief summary of the work of the service during the year 1931:
Total number of medical cases admitted 139
Adults. 119
Children 20
Total number of deaths. 35
These fall under the following diseases :-
Meningitis. 1
Cerebral hemmorrhage. 2 ·
Cerebral embolism 1
Lobar pneumonia 6
Pulmonary tuberculosis
1
Metastatic carcinoma of lung.
1
Coronary embolism.
1 Aneurism of aorta
1
Acute nephritis. 2
Arteriosclerosis, Chronic nephritis, hemiplegia.
1
Arteriosclerosis, cardiac failure and terminal pneumonia. 2
Chronic nephritis, chronic alcholism and septic pneumonia 1 Diabestes. 1
Pyonephrosis, diabetes.
1
1 Senile dementia .
Acute mercuric chloride poisoning. 1
Owing to lack of data, it is impossible to tabulate the remaining deaths.
The Benedict-Roth recording metabolism apparatus which was added to the equipment of the medical service in 1930 proved itself of value during the
39
ANNUAL REPORT
year. Not only was its usefulness demonstrated, but it proved to be a financial asset. Thirty determinations were made, yielding a revenue of $125.00 to the hospital. It is to be hoped that greater use may be made of the apparatus during the coming year.
There has been during the year a healthy cooperation of the members of the service in the work which has been carried on, and I wish to express my apprecia- tion for this cooperation of members of the service and the nurses who have carried on so efficiently during the year. Any suggestions from the Board of Managers and members of the Staff which would prove of use to make better the work of the service, or increase the number of patients admitted to it would be appreciated by the staff of the medical service.
Respectfully submitted,
Herbert Lowell Rich, M. D., Chief of Medical Staff

The following report of the Department of Anesthesia for the year 1931, is respectfully submitted :-
There were 908 General Anesthesias with ether, administered, a decrease of 75 in comparison with 1930.
62 local, an increase of 17.
32 Spinal, an increase of 19
121 patients were listed as operated upon with anesthesia.
40
ANNUAL REPORT
In several of the cases of local and "without anesthesia", the members of the anesthesia service have asisted in the care of the patients.
We have had an exceptionally fortunate year in regard to complications, morbidity and mortality.
The increasing use and demand for spinal anesthesia by the staff and patients is directing our attention to the value of this form of anesthesia and to the indica- tions for its use, which are becoming more clearly defined.
The relations existing between the various membe s of this staff with each other and with the surgical staff has been most pleasant and has followed our traditional course of rendering service and cooperation in as great a measure as possible.
Dr. Battershall, Dr. Stobbs and I join in thanking the entire staff for its patience and assistance to us in our varied problems.
Respectfully submitted,
Frederick V. Murphy, M. D., Chief of the Department of Anesthesia.
To the Board of Managers,
and Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen :-
Physiotherapy of physical therapy-employment of physical measures in treatment of disease and relief of symptoms.
For many years simple remedial agents such as water, sunlight, exercises, heat and massage have been used. In modern times other physical agencies and electricity in its different forms have been added. Physical therapy has grown rapidly in the last fifteen years. A sound foundation was built during the world war when the practical value of physical therapy was ably demonstrated. Used at first in Government hospitals, its uses has spread rapidly to clinics, general hospitals and to private practice. It is a truly scientific method of healing as is medicine and surgery, and should be regarded as an adjunct to other methods of treatment. Physiotherapy may be employed to advantage in almost any field in medicine.
In the hospital as a reconstructive aid in the treatment of trauma, in the after-care of fractures, in the more rapid healing of wounds, in the improvement of the patients' general condition, and in the restoration of function, and relief of pain it is indispensable if the comfort of the patient and the shortening of the period of convalescence is worthy of consideration.
In orthopedic conditions, its employment in the form of radiant heat, light, diathermy, galvanism and massage is clearly indicated. Actinic light is used with certain results in rickets, tuber culous bone and joint lesions and in osteomye- litis. In flat foot, heat, massage, the sinusoidal current, and galvanism accom- plishes a cure where biaces and artifical supports offer only relief.
The usefulness of physiotherapy in industrial surgery has proven of great value. The compensation cases are rehabilitated in a much shorter period than formerly before physical measures were employed.
Dermatology, lasynology, gynecology, genitourinary work and athletic injuries offer conditions in which physiotherapy is of undoubted assistance.
Following is a resume of cases treated in the department during 1931 :-

TREASURER'S AND AUDITOR'S REPORT
Deficit-General Fund :
Schedule B-1 shows that the deficit amounting to $8,866.03 at the be- ginning of the year had increased to $13,394.34 at the close, and indicates ex- penses in excess of receipts to the extent of $4,528.31, this sum being substantially the same as the increase in notes payable to the bank during the year.
The deficit at the close of 1931 as stated above is based of course upon re- cords kept on a strictly cash basis which do not include transactions not yet Ie- duced to cash. A comparison of the deficit as per books on the cash basis with the deficit as it would appear if the books were on the accrual basis follows:
Deficit as per books $13,394.34 1,919.36
Add: Accounts payable
$15,313.70
Deduct: Accounts receivable-Good.
11,581.59
Deficit on accrual basis.
$ 3,732.11
Campaign :
During the year 1931, transactions in connection with the 1925 campaign were limited to receipts in the sum of $556.00, and expenses amounting to $12.42 as set forth in exhibit E, making the net increase in the fund $543.58 for the year.

ANNUAL REPORT
Exhibit F presents a condensed summary of subscriptions, collections, etc., indicating a balance of uncollected subscriptions on December 31, 1931, amounting to $16,354.52. No attempt was made by us to verify this remaining balance for the reason that the prospects of further collections are so limited.
Distinct checking accounts at two banks are still being conducted to facilitate the handling of collections. The balances in these accounts form a part of the trust fund cash balance shown in exhibit C.
Bonding and Insurance :
We examined a continuation certificate indicating that bonding of the treasurer in the sum of $10,000 is still in force, having been renewed to August 1, 1932.
We were informed that workmen's compensation insurance had been dis- continued on the advice of the city solicitor.
General public liability insurance was found to be in force, as usual, the policy being written to expire on August 28, 1932.
Fire insurance coverage at the date of our examination of the policies may be summarized as follows:

ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT of the STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION October, 1930-October, 1931
There have been three regular meetings of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital Aid Association and one annual meeting, held during the year, with Mis. Olive Briggs presiding. There has been an average attendance of 12, showing a slight gain over last year.
The Sewing Committee, with Mis. Grace Keeler as Chairman, has been active as usual with the cutting and distributing of the many articles needed to carry on the work of the Hospital. The church organizations and various classes have all contributed generously of their time to the finishing of the work. A total of 2,975 pieces have been made.
The Purchasing Committee has as usual attended to the many necessities for the maintenance of the Hospital. A Warren-Collins Oxygen Tent was purchased in March for use in pneumonia cases and its use has proven it to be a valuable addition to the hospital equipment.
The Annual Donation Day was held November 14, with Mrs. Frances Battershall as Chairman. There was a most generous response this year with North Attleboro co-operating, sending workers to help in the sorting as well as the collecting.
We have lost one member, by death; Dr. Laura V. Gustin Conibear, who, from the beginning of this society, gave of her time and strength to aid in its upbuilding and success. Her memory will ever be an inspiration to its members.
The free beds have been used seven times, Women's bed once, Children's bed three times, Maternity bed three times.
