An Improved Mechanical Hand

difference is the high "frequency" in Co. Armagh. 6. The average cost per prescription form fell from 15.89d. in December, 1930, to 13.02d. in December, 1931, i.e., a reduction of 2.87d. per form. (NOTE.-A saving of Id. per insured person means a total saving of £1,500 a year. Assuming the frequency to be 2.40, a saving of Id. per form would result in a saving of 2.4 times £1,500, i.e., £3,600.) In conclusion, this brief account shows that we have already gone a long way to surmount many of the difficulties inevitably associated with such a task as the introduction of medical benefits. Attention has been drawn to some points in medical certification which should be specially remembered. In the matter of economy in the cost of drugs, while it is satisfactory to note a continuous and marked improvement during the year, it is believed that there is still room for further economy without any resulting therapeutic loss to the patients.
