Scabies and Verminous Conditions.
As in previous years, cases for the above conditions have been
referred to Kensington Medicinal Baths for cleansing treatment.
This year, as will be seen in the tables below, the number of cases
and the number of families referred for Scabies is appreciably less
than the year before. The number of families is a more significant
figure than the number of cases as it is always our endeavour to
have a whole family treated even if only one member is obviously
affected.
