Four children were recommended for special remedial
exercises and massage. Two of these cases were
treated at Melmoth Hall, one for flat-foot and the other
for scoliosis. The other two children attended the
Chelsea Polytechnic for scoliosis. All four are making
good progress.
Three of the children were recommended for Artificial
Sunlight treatment at Humanity House, Westminster.
These children all suffered from tuberculosis
of the glands of the neck. The first case was a girl
of 11 years, who had treatment three times a week for
eight months. Prior to receiving this treatment she
had a mass of glands in the right posterior triangle
and in the sub-maxillary region, also enlarged glands
under the right lower jaw. Some of the masses were
as big as grapes; they are now greatly reduced in
size, the largest being as big as haricot beans.
The second case was a girl of twelve years, who had
a mass of glands under her right lower jaw. They
entirely disappeared after treatment three times a
week for nine months with two intervals of one month
and three months during which the radiations were
stopped.
A boy of nine years was also treated intermittently
for 18 months with marked benefit. The glandular
enlargement, which was considerable in bis case,
disappeared entirely with the exception of a small
gland in the left sub-maxillary region. These three
children improved markedly in general health and
spirits.
