GENERAL INVALIDITY.
The children attending our feeding centres are not so great in number as
in previous years, this is to a great extent due to the desire on the part of
the parents to feed them at home, and not at the feeding centres; also to the
fact that the malnourished child is becoming more speedily attended to, and
thereby becoming less in number.
