RINGWORM OF THE SCALP.
Cases which are not severe are treated at the Minor Ailments
Clinic. An arrangement was made in the latter part of 1916 to
have severe cases treated by X-rays at the London Hospital, the
Council paying £1 1s. 0d. per case for such treatment.
Seventeen cases were selected for this treatment during the
year.
INSPECTION CLINIC.
The Inspection and Minor Ailments Clinics are held every
morning and are closely associated, children being transferred
from one to the other as may be required. Verminous cases and
children in need of such treatment as is available at the School
Clinics, and who are noted as requiring attention during the course
of routine medical inspection, are referred to both Inspection and
Treatment Clinics.
Many large hospitals are easily reached from Leyton, and
thus parents can easily obtain skilled advice and treatment for any
condition arising among their children; in addition, cases are
received into the West Ham Infirmary.
Records of attendances and treatment are entered in a daily
register and upon special cards.
During the year 936 boys and 1,175 girls were dealt with.
