in debilitated health are in special need of a
holiday away to recuperate.
Many of these children are convalescent after
whooping cough, pneumonia, bronchitis and other
ailments : and their home conditions may be unsatisfactory
either from environmental or economic
causes.
Naturally these conditions are more liable to be
harmful where there is in the household some member
of the family suffering from consumption.
The Tuberculosis Officer wishes to express his
great appreciation and thanks to the Association
for their aid in obtaining periods of convalescence

help on the preventive side, where their intimate
knowledge of the district and economic conditions
and personal acquaintance with families and their
homes has been of the greatest value.
Conclusion.
I would like to place on record my sincere thanks
to both the Clerical and Nursing Staffs and to Miss
Robinson in the Bacteriological Laboratory, for the
great assistance given at all times in their respective
departments.
