Prophylactic treatment of infants is a developing line, and well
worth the mothers' effort in town conditions. A few mothers have proposed
it themselves and I hope more who can will seek us out.
The remaining group (various disorders) is an important one, a
good response has been obtained in otitis, catarrh, anaemia and various
nervous troubles in elder children. A few have been sent by their own
doctors to our great pleasure.
We are all glad to have a garden at both centres. During really hot
weather, when U.V.R. is undesirable, the gardens have been enjoyed,
with benefit, by toddlers.

The one failure had severe nervous depression. This increased, and
I sent her for mental treatment. We had a few striking cures among the
"various disorders." Several mothers, also, come regularly every year,
having proved the tonic effect on themselves.
Again, as in previous years, I wish to express my deep appreciation
of the work of the Sister in Charge and of her thoughtful care for mothers
and children; and also to thank Miss Harris for her kindness, patience
and efficiency in assisting.
