I have pleasure in submitting my report on the work of the Light
Clinics during 1931.
336 children were regularly treated. 37 mothers were regularly
treated.
The 336 children are classified as follows:—
Rickets, 49; of which
13 were Severe
23 „ Slight
13 „ Muscular.
36 were successes, 7 moderate successes, and 6 failed to attend
regularly.
Disturbed Dentition, 102.
69 were successes, 15 moderate successes, and 18 failed in attendance.
Delayed Dentition, 26.
19 were successes, 4 moderate successes, and 3 failed in attendance.
Malnutrition, 59.
35 were successes, 12 moderate successes, 7 failed in attendance and
5 were disappointing in response to treatment.
These disappointments, as others in the series, almost all needed
change to country air, and improved remarkably on being sent away.
I find a course of Light given after convalescence keeps them fit.
Debility, 55.
30 were successes, 20 moderate successes, 2 failed in attendance, 3
were disappointing.
For Recovery after Illness, 18.
13 were successes, 4 moderate successes, 1 failed in attendance.
