The National Hospital for Diseases of the Heart, the Central London
Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital and the Prince of Wales's Hospital, have

great London Hospitals, that there is no reason why any Tottenham child
should have his ailment unattended.

In 30 of these cases, the treatment has been continued in 1926.
