(e) Nutrition.
The Health Visitors at their consultations make a
practice of discussing the question of nutrition and
impress upon the mothers the necessity for balanced
diets. This method of teaching the public has been
found to be effective in spreading knowledge of this
subject. Auxiliary foods such as malt and cod liver
oil and similar products are obtainable at the Clinics.
