This becomes apparent when a comparison is made between the fjgures of neighbouring areas. A few years ago we published certain figures culled from the annual reports of school medical officers of districts around London it was interesting to note to what extent the personal factor just have entered. Some might say tha...

It is also well to look back on some of our past cases, and try to assess the value which the children have received from the operation. 108 cases which had been operated on under the Authority's scheme were followed up. A large number of these children were generated on at the request of the family doctor, or on the a...

An interesting point in this connection is that the children in whom improvement occurred were 12 and 7 years of age respectively while the ages of the children in whom there was no improvement ranged from 5 years down to 3 years. In the 2 older children breathing exercises had been carried out after operation, and the...

The number of cases in this investigation was not large, but the reasonable conclusion which one draws from a consideration of the cases is that removal of tonsils and adenoids without definite evidence that they are doing harm is obviously not worth the risk and unpleasantness which the child has to suffer. Comment on...

Infection of the upper respiratory tract in children is extremely common, and the burden of this invasion by microbes is borne by the lymphoid or adenoid tissue, which becomes swollen temporarily. The swelling is a sign that the lymphoid tissue is needed and that it is dealing with the infection. When the infection is ...

Difficulty in breathing through the nose, or mouth breathing, is one of the commonest symptoms for which children are brought along to the throat clinic. In a large number of these children there is no sign of nasal Obstruction and the condition is found to be associated with a general lack of tone. Here again operatio...

Some of these children are found on examination to have wide anterior nares and a larger airway than usual. Have again, removal of adenoid tissue is particularly apt to aggravate the condition.

If the tonsils are a source of sepses they must be removed, but working on the principle that swelling of lymphoid tissue is a protective mechanism, tonsils should never be removed for enlargement alone, except in the very rare event of their causing mechanical obstruction. The explanation of the reduction in the numbe...

Of the 175 children who were first reported to us, 127 were weighed and measured at the Clinic, and the weight of each child was compared with the average standard normal weight for height. 48 of the children were absent from school for various reasons, so they were dealt with at the school on their return. 14 of the 1...

12 of the children were well cared for and the food they had was sufficient in quantity. None of them had any physical defect to ccount for the failure to gain in weight. In most of them the malnutrition was undoubtedly due to faulty health and food habits, want of rest, and overfatigue either singly or combined. Many ...

We also found that meals were served regular intervals, but the most important factor was the total disgaurd paid by the mother to food values. 84 One outstanding fact was that the diet of these children consisted almost entirely of articles which required no cooking. Where the mother is employed outside the home, the ...

Several of the children had bread and butter only for every meal, and this unbalanced diet would be enough to cause malnutrition, but lack of nutriment was enhanced by failure of appetite due to the monotonous dietary. No attempt seems to have been made to vary the diet according to the seasonal supply of a particular ...

Suggestions were made regarding more rest for the child, the inclusion in the diet of foods of high food value and the correction of faulty food habits, such as irregular meals bolting of food, drinking with meals, etc., and they were urged tc have physical defects, such as carious teeth, dealt with. It was decided to ...

85 In the early days of the enquiry, it was realised that the standard of weight for height could not be used as a hard and fast rule, but that the general physical condition of the child must be taken into account. We therefore began to include children who showed symptoms of fatigue, anaemia, enlarged glands in the n...

Each child over 7 years was taught to make mops for himself by twiddling pieces of cotton wool firmly round special sticks, and then by means of these mops to dry his ear thoroughly.

The parents have been visited time and again, but improvement only results for a short time.
