Five were admitted into the London Hospital, afterwards being made
out-patients, three were admitted into the Sick Asylum, thirteen attended
the Hospital as out-patients, twenty-five were treated by private
practitioners, the nurses of the East London Nursing Association visited
five cases, the nurses of St. John Divine three.
With reference to the cases handed over to the N.S.P.C.C., one
mother failed to attend hospital regularly and was found at home the
worse for drink one day when she should have been at the hospital, the
second case, the mother discharged herself from the Sick Asylum and
refused to allow the child to remain, she also refused to allow it to stay
in the hospital where it had been taken at a later date.
Of the two whose sight was destroyed, one was taken regularly to the
hospital but the mother declined the services of a nurse. The child was
hand-fed and died of epidemic diarrhœa. The other, both mother and
child were delicate and were treated in the Sick Asylum, this child also
was hand-fed.
