Dissemination of Knowledge on the Subject of Nutrition.
—The advice given at the Welfare Centres contains frequent
references to questions of diet. In addition, books and leaflets
are issued which afford instruction on the diet of mother and
child, and, in the hope that it would prove a valuable means of
teaching practical dietetics copies of Dr. Nash's Cookery Book
were kept in stock and issued free to mothers attending the Council's
Welfare Centres.
