Cleansing and. disinfection.—Verminous persons and persons
suffering from scabies may be cleansed at the Cleansing Station,
High Street, Hornsey. A well-equipped station is provided, and
during 1927 nine adults and 129 school children received treatment.
The clothing of such persons is disinfected at the time
of cleansing, and in many cases it is found possible to disinfect
the homes as well. Disinfection is offered in cases of death from
tuberculosis, cancer, pneumonia and other diseases. In 117 of
the 379 instances in which the service was offered it was accepted.
