INFANT CONSULTATIONS.
Dr. K. M. Horton reports :
(CORNWALL ROAD CENTRE).
Infant consultations have continued to be held five times
weekly. The two morning clinics have shown an increased
attendance and are now well established.
The number of new infants is satisfactory, particularly
as each year we hear of the opening of some new agency for
their care. The custom of mothers attending the infant
welfare clinic of the hospital or maternity home in which
she has been delivered is growing. In some cases they
attend there permanently, in others they attend our clinics
at a later age and seldom with the regularity that makes
for good progress.
