ment for upwards of five years, has obtained the Certificate of
the Sanitary Institute, and has also been elected an Associate
of that body. I would strongly recommend that she be
authorised to carry out the duties of a Lady Sanitary Inspector,,
or Health Visitor. If this is done good results will, I am sure,
accrue, particularly in visiting the numerous workrooms of the
District, which are more generally occupied by females. She
is also qualified to advise as to Domestic Hygiene in the poorer
parts of the District, having, in addition to the above qualifications,
obtained the Certificates granted by the Board of Education
for examinations in Hygiene.
As Lady Sanitary Inspector, Miss M. Miller's services in
the investigation of all cases of deaths of children under five years,
as well as into the sanitary arrangements of homes where
inspection by men is regarded in the light of an intrusion, would
be of the utmost value to the District, and would, I feel sure, be
cordially welcomed by all concerned.
farewell note.
In concluding my last Annual Report as Medical Officer ot
Health of Leyton, I should like in bidding goodbye to the scenes
of my labours for the past 20 years to give a few facts and
figures relating to the District for 1886 as compared with those
of my last year in office.
