In the majority of cases, co-operation in the home is obtained and the results are correspondingly gratifying, but sometimes it happens that on Monday it is all too evident that nothing whatever has been done since the ear was treated on Friday.

In all, there were 101 cases treated, but many of these were cases who got themselves re-infected and had to undergo treatment again and again,โ€”in one family as often as four times in the year, in February, in April, in July, and in November.

At our feeding centres children are supplied with a hot mid-day mealโ€”the traditional meat, potatoes, vegetable, and pudding meal, which would be given to them in their own house if their parents were feeding them.
