my indebtedness to Dr. Loughborough for his help in the solution
of many difficult problems.
A large part of the work of a Tuberculosis Dispensary is
concerned with the writing of letters, furnishing of reports, and the
keeping of complicated records. The burden of this has fallen on
Miss E. M. Russell, the Secretary-Dispenser, on whose invariable
accuracy and efficiency I have been able confidently to rely.
At the end of the year Mr. G. W. Cooling, SecretarySuperintendent
of the Hospital, resigned to take up an appointment
elsewhere, and I have to thank him for the valued help and advice
which he has always freely given during his period of office.
The nursing arrangements under the supervision of the Matron
of the Hospital have remained most satisfactory.
The Dispensary is greatly indebted to the Chief Administrative
Officers, Dr. G. H. Dart, Medical Officer of Health for Hackney, and
Dr. F. D. Ross-Keyt, Medical Officer of Health for Stoke Newington,
for the interest which they have continued to show in the Department.
In conclusion, I wish to express my gratitude to the
Tuberculosis Dispensary Committee, and to the representatives of
the Boroughs of Hackney and Stoke Newington, for their assistance
and support during the year.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
F. W. HAMILTON,
Clinical Tuberculosis Officer.
