Visiting in the Home
Periodic visits are paid by the Health Visitors to
all children under the age of five years and to all
foster-children under the age of nine years. Visits
are also paid in certain cases to expectant mothers.
X-Ray Treatment
for Ringworm
Where necessary, ringworm is treated by X-ray.
No charge is made for this treatment. No child
under the age of five years was so treated during
the year 1933.
The way in which anyone can avail herself of any of these Services is to ask the
Health Visitor for the district, or to attend at an Infant Welfare Centre, or, where this
is not practicable or there is any emergency, to make an enquiry at the offices of the
Public Health Department—Central Hall Chambers, East Street, Barking.
