a form of tertiary syphilis. Syphilis in its familiar forms is not
so common as in many other countries. About 1000 cases are
treated annually in our hospitals, and about twice that number
outside. From 60 to 80 deaths from syphilis are recorded annually,
but the greater number of the deaths caused by syphilis are
concealed, as elsewhere, under other causes.
Among other chronic diseases of importance may be named
cancer and sarcoma, with 6 per cent of the known annual number
of deaths, and organic diseases of the heart, with about 5 per cent.

INFIRMARIES.
a) Government Institutions. It was at an early date that the
state established institutions for lepers. There were originally 4, 2 at
Bergen, 1 at Molde and 1 at Trondhjem, all large and costly
institutions. Lungegaard Hospital at Bergen, moreover, was fitted
up with an ample scientific apparatus, library, collections, etc. In
1866, when the number of inmates was greatest, 795 lepers were
treated at these institutions. Since then the number has steadily
decreased to 360 at the end of 1895, when it was possible to close
Lungegaard Hospital and Reknes Hospital at Molde as leper
hospitals. Since 1897, Reknes has been used as a sanatorium for
tuberculous patients, aud is fitted up with accommodation for about 60,
10 of them children. From the opening day, the 15th November,
1897, until the 31st December, 1898, 211 patients were admitted,
and the number of days of attendance was 17,309. A new hospital
for consumption is planned in Lyster in Sogn, where a site has
been purchased in a well-wooded, mountainous district, 1600 feet
above the sea.
The state has further erected the State Hospital in Kristiania
with medical and surgical wards, besides special wards. It is intended
for patients from all parts of the country, and is also a clinical
educational establishment. The daily number of inmates in 1895 was 376.
In Kristiania and Bergen, the state maintains lying-in
hospitals and obstetrical schools in connection with them. The
lying-in hospital in Kristiania is also an educational establishment for
the medical students. The number of births there in 1895 was
969, in Bergen 112.
