The public should be warned of the danger of
using enamelled ware for making or storing lemonade.
Apparently it is possible to manufacture
enamelled ware in such a way that the antimony
will not be dissolved out, but the safest procedure
is not to use enamelled ware for the purpose of
storing or preparing these drinks.
Prevention of Deafness.
Circular 1337a of the Ministry of Health drew
the attention of the Borough Council to a report
by the late Dr. Eichholz entitled "A Study of
the Deaf" and stated that much more could be
done by pursuing the methods at present available
and endorsed the suggestion that Maternity and
Child Welfare authorities should give close attention
to the matter with the view to preventing
deafness and deaf-mutism.
The Medical and Health Visiting Staff were
requested to take appropriate measures on the
lines indicated by the report.
