Health.
The following is a brief account of the activities of the Paddington School for Mothers.
Headquarters : 232, Harrow Road, W. 2.
Established 1910, when the Paddington Health Society was divided into two distinct bodies for
dealing with Tuberculosis and Infant Welfare, the latter being the Paddington School for Mothers.
