asked advice in this matter. This milk can now be obtained in the
Borough. It costs a penny a pint more than ordinary pasteurised

At the end of July three children suffering from Surgical Tuberculosis
were sent out to Switzerland to one of Dr. Rollier's clinics, at
Leysin. Early in October a further three patients—all adults —
were sent to Dr. Rollier for treatment. Unfortunately, one of the
adults had to return home on account of heart trouble from which
she ultimately died. The reports received from Dr. Rollier show that
all the patients are making good progress.
Early in October temporary arrangements were made at the
Dispensary for the treatment of suitable cases by means of arc-light
radiation. A considerable number of patients have been under
treatment and the results have been encouraging. It is hoped that
suitable premises will be erected in 1925 to allow for the treatment
of a larger number of patients and to enable the lights to be used
for the prevention of Tuberculosis.
