The increase in the numbers of young children referred to
the Clinic is maintained and is evidence of the awakened interest
and knowledge of parents.
Grouping and Classification.
This continues to follow the scheme laid down in my Report
for 1931.
Group I.—Symptoms referring to the digestive
system and intestinal tract, e.g. abdominal
pains, constipation and lack of appetite 44 cases
Group II.—Symptoms suggesting the presence of
a toxaemia, e.g., aching limbs, lassitude,
headache 95 cases
Group III.—Symptoms suggesting a disturbance of
the nervous system, e.g., irritability, disturbed
sleep, nocturnal eneuresis, fidgetiness
71 cases
Groups II. and III. include the majority of cases. In many
cases there is nearly always a combination of the symptoms
specified in Groups II. and III. varying in severity according to
•he type of case observed.
