On March 18, the Tweed Bay Hospital had on its rolls 90 staff members and 60 patients of whom 19 were due to discharge.  50 percent of the patients were dysentery cases.  Fortunately, however, the dysentery prevalent in the camp is not of a severe type and the average time of such patients in hospital is a week.
