Visiting in the Home
Periodic visits are paid by the Health Visitors to
all children under the age of five years and to all

X-Ray Treatment for Ringworm.
Where necessary, ringworm is treated by X-ray.
No charge is made for this treatment.
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.
