was thus enabled to breast-feed both children
satisfactorily.
The mothers appear to be taking a far greater and
more intelligent interest in the feeding, clothing, and
care of their babies.
I have also to thank Mrs. Dunnett, M.B., for the
kindly interest which she takes in the welfare of the
babies of Ealing.
I have continued to visit the women and children
under the Tuberculosis Regulations, 1908 and 1911.
One hundred and three visits were made to the
patients. On October 17th, the Tuberculosis Medical
Officer of Health examined at the Town Hall twentyfive
of the contacts; this necessitated a large number
of visits being made.
Overcrowding was found in two of the homes
visited.
In connection with the workshop inspection twentyeight
defects were found. The workshops generally
were found to be in a good condition.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
MABEL COPELAND,
Sanitary Inspector.
