If the subjoined table be referred to it will be seen that
58 out of the 62 cases involved the middle ear and 4 the
external part only. Of the 58 one was acute inflammation—
the mastoid was involved, and the child was sent to hospital.
Of the 57, in 32 the disease was limited to the tympanum;
in 25 the attic or mastoid was involved. This is a larger
proportion of attico-mastoid cases than should be expected
to be present in succeeding years. They are the accumulation
of several years. Eight of these recovered. The
majority of the remainder will require hospital treatment.
Where the external ear only was involved all recovered.
The clinic was started in January, 1925, and is held on
Saturday mornings during term from 9.30-11. The children
are given appointments as to the day and hour at which they
are expected.
