The American Hospital continues to grow in popularity and the amount of work done
shows a steady increase. Dr. Mylrea fas absent on leave three and a half mouths besides

On the men's side 8,772 treatments were given, of which 2,'434 were new eases. On the
■women^s side 5,600 treatments were given, of v, hich 2,100 were new cases. Tbe grand total for
both sides was 14,872 treatments. Mrs. Calverley, assisted by Miss. Scardefieid, has been in
charge of the women's department. 86 men and 27 women were received into the wards as
in-patients. *235 surgical operations were performpd during the year. The increase in the
number of professional visits to people in their homes is remarkable being about double last
year, 692 visits were made to men and 251 to women. The 692 visits to men
included the treatment of 143 individuals or an average of something less than 5 visits per
patient. One of these patients was the little sou of Shaikh Jabir bin Mubarak who very
nearly succumbed to pneumonia but, we are glad to say, eventually made a complete recovery.
Financially, we have every reason to be satished, and the people of Kuwait ars^ showing by
