149
total, and 84 were moderate successes. Most of the moderate successes
would have been complete ones if their course of treatment had not been
interrupted (by infectious disease sometimes, or unavoidable home
conditions).
The largest group is Rickets, 97 cases.
I have divided this group into:—
(a) Severe Rickets, 37.
Of these:
25 were successes.
7 ,, moderate successes.
5 ,, failures (through poor attendance).
(b) Slight Rickets, 46.
Of these:
32 were successes.
10 ,, moderate successes.
4 ,, failures.
These two sub-groups of bony rickets received treatment with red
light for 10 minutes (5 minutes front and back) immediately before each
exposure to ultra-violet light. This I find makes for a more rapid cure
in rickets, which usually needs a long course, or several courses, in any
case.
(c) Muscular Rickets, 14.
Of these:
9 were successes.
5 ,, moderate successes.
There were no failuies.
