Warts that are not suitable for electrocautery and those of small children or where the consent for local
anaesthesia is not given, are treated by the usual method of paring the warts after application of Chlorosal
paste or Collodion salicylic acid.

Consultant Sessions
Orthopaedic Clinics
Dr. E.G.M. Palser, Consultant in Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery to the Weston Park Clinic, retired at
the end of March 1970 and I should like to express my gratitude to Dr. Palser for the valuable work he
accomplished at the Hornsey School Orthopaedic Clinic over a period of more than ten years. After Dr.
Palser's retirement, children with serious orthopaedic problems were referred to the Whittington Hospital,
a school medical officer dealing with minor orthopaedic problems and advising the Physiotherapist on their
treatment. It is hoped that early in 1971 a special hospital session staffed by a registrar will be arranged at
the Whittington Hospital, for children from the Hornsey part of the Borough. Details of the attendances at
the Weston Park Clinic during the year are as follows:—
Consultant sessions (up to 31 March)

Mr. E. Hambly, FRCS, consulting Orthopaedic Surgeon to the Lordship Lane Clinic, Tottenham, retired
because of ill-health towards the end of 1969, after a prolonged absence. I wish to express the appreciation
of the department for the excellent work which Mr. Hambly carried out at the Clinic over the past twenty
years. Mr. Hambly's successor is Mr. J.P.S. England, FRCS., who commenced sessions at Lordship Lane in
January 1970.
