HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION FOR CHILDREN.
The Wembley Hospital provides a separate ward with
six beds solely for the treatment of children.
There is a very beautiful, modern, Children's Hospital
at Park Royal, under the control of the Middlesex County
Council, available for the treatment of the children of the
poorer classes, and admission is obtained through the Public
Assistance Officer, or, if extremely urgent, directly through
the Superintendent.
CHILDREN'S CONVALESCENCE.
I would remind you of the Middlesex Edward VII Hostel
for the reception of necessitous Middlesex children needing
change of air.
This hospital is at Bexhill-on-Sea. The payment of 35s.
provides the return fare and two weeks' maintenance at the
Hostel, from May to September, making a Summer holiday.
From October to April the Hostel is used as a School of
Recovery (certified under the Board of Education for cases of
asthemia maramus, chorea, muscular atrophy, etc.
The complaints treated include rickets, anaemia,
debility, anaemia and general convalescence). Children are
admitted from 8 to 14 years for periods of six weeks and
longer; girls before Christmas, boys after Christmas. All
information may be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, Miss
Mary Gardner, of Oakhurst, Harrow-on-the-Hill.
THE YARROW CONVALESCENCE HOME.
It is not generally known and appreciated that this
splendid Children's Convalescent Home at Broadstairs is
available only for the middle classes.
The terms, which are moderate, can be obtained from
the Secretary.
ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT.
This is arranged for at the Wembley Hospital and the
fees are paid by the Council in cases recommended by the
Clinic doctors for those who are in poor circumstances.
