*Note.—Endeavours have been made to trace the cases in which treatment or medical advice has been obtained. The result.* shown are up to
31st December, 1908, and doubtless many more have obtained advice by now (March, 1909). Nothing haw been left undone to persuade
parents to obtain advice. In many cases active treatment at the moment may not be required, but the responsibility of treatment or
otherwise must rest with the family medical attendant.
