The Borough Council employs a female attendant to cleanse
the children, who acts under the supervision of a London County
Council School Nurse, who is responsible for the treatment of
the children at the Station.
The children with verminous heads are given a box of Stavesacre
ointment and printed instructions as to its use.
The names and addresses of all children are entered in a book,
and the Lady Sanitary Inspector visits the children's homes and
makes the necessary arrangements for the cleansing and disinfection
of verminous bedding and rooms.
Table No. 17 below shows the extent to which the Station has
been used in the last five years.

It will be noted that, for the years 1917-18-19. the numbers
cleansed have considerably increased. The increase is partly due
to an arrangement entered into in 1917, whereby cases of scabies
are treated.
