2 DISTRICT NURSING
  In the 12 districts operated by the Service from the Hospital,
i  f, Wendover, and six outpost centers, we attended 10,315 people in
 iv 2,337 families. Of these, 5,045 were children, including 2,501
_ babies and toddlers. The district nurses paid 30,877 visits and
 T received 20,632 visits at their nursing centers and at their special
  clinics. Bedside nursing care was given in their homes to 491
 ’ sick people of whom 5 died. At the request of the State Board
_ of Health, the Frontier Nursing Service gave 5,326 inoculations
 [ and vaccines against typhoid, diphtheria, smallpox, whooping
T cough, et cetera, and 3,593 specimens for analysis.
 ll This part of our report has reference to general district
H  nursing only and does not include midwifery carried day and
night by the nurse-midwives along with their district nursing.
 M The figures for midwifery are covered under the following
