AURAL CLINIC.
Report by Dr. A. R. Friel, Aural Surgeon:—
"The event of the year 1932 was the transfer of this Clinic
to the new School Clinic in Crouch End Broadway. This
Clinic is well equipped and comfortable to work in. It is
designed for a Clinic in which there are various departments—
general, dental, etc.—and no one who has worked in it would
like to go back to an ordinary house adapted for the purpose.
The room allotted to ear work is convenient and is wired to
provide current for light, heating a steriliser, working a motor,
and in addition, a spare plug for other apparatus as required.
Hot and cold water are laid on to a large sink and to a handbasin.
The plugs are of a safety type, designed to prevent
accidents to little fingers which might poke their way into
places not intended for them.
"The treatment during the year has been carried out on
the same lines as in previous years. All children sent from
the Infant Welfare Centres, as well as from the Schools, suffering
with otorrhœa, are treated. In addition, many school
children are sent up with deafness resulting from suppuration
in the ear, as well as the sequel to chronic colds."
