The largest group is still that including general debility and malnutrition inevitable in a district where many people are poor. The improvement shown in a large majority of these is satisfactory. Cases of rickets are still seen, but these seem to come at an earlier stage and respond better, as the figures show. All ca...

It is from the welfare centres in these areas that many patients are recommended for artificial sunlight treatment, and it has been found that the regular attendance of such children at the Woolwich clinic involves a strain on time in travelling and family purse, which many mothers are unable to bear. In consequence af...

In the year under review a slight extension of the service has taken place in that two or three toddlers are so examined each morning session at New Eltham by one of the Assistant Medical Officers. Dr. Emslie's report follows:— "The total number of full inspections is increased this year (1314 as compared with 1,145 in...

The rate for subnormal nutrition has declined in a corresponding manner from 16 per cent. in 1933 and 11 per cent. in 1934 to 10 per cent. this year, and for serious malnutrition the figures are almost too small to show as a percentage (0.2 per cent.). Admitting the essential weakness of such computations as evidence, ...

It is to be hoped the decline is of some significance and may mark the starting point of a falling curve. Passing to certain special symptoms that have received attention in previous reports, the figure for 'behaviour symptoms' amounts this year to the equivalent of 18 per cent. of the total children examined. But this...

is therefore extremely generous and must not be taken to represent the number of children that at any given time might be estimated to require treatment, or even unusual lines of management. To the figure, however, should be added some proportion of the 6.5 per cent. enuresis cases, a group which has in the last two ye...

Further, the marked change in the attitude of parents towards school for their pre-school age children that has occurred since the facilities were provided (in the interval since the 1931 report was written), is the best testimonial possible to the success of these provisions and the best augury for happier times for t...

in 1933, but the figure for caries at the age of two years has relapsed from 3.5 per cent. of cases in 1934 to 6.7 per cent. In 1933 this figure was 9 per cent. so that last year's improvement was illusory 38 or at least evanescent. At the age of three, the incidence of caries this year is 19 per cent., compared with 2...

Analysing the degree of defect now we get further disconcerting figures. Forty per cent. of all children showing caries are found to have two teeth or less involved, 8.5 per cent. have three or four, and 51 per cent. have four or more already gone when they are inspected. Even at the age of two the percentage of defect...

Prevention, therefore, more than ever is the watchword since it is evident that treatment cannot overtake the effects of a bad beginning. The figures for children showing enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids remains high (50 per cent.), but the operation figure is low, under 3 per cent., a figure lower than we have shown b...

This point of view, naturally, has to be continually kept in mind when deciding whether enlargement of the tonsils matters or not; and it is given very earnest consideration in each case. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the freedom from symptoms and absence of secondary signs of infection (such as catarrhs, deafness...

With an eye to the future, it might be as well perhaps to record once more the advantages that would accrue, if an arrangement could be organised for checking up the observations made in regard to anemia and rickets (serious social scourges as these are) by suitable methods of laboratory analysis."

In the early years the service was little used. It may be that there is among many mothers an unwillingness to accept someone else into their home; it may be that there is a want of mutual confidence, or a feeling of distrust. Anyhow this service grew slowly, although it was part of it that the mother in certain cases ...
