Comments of A.S.M.O.—Dr. Rawes, after expressing an opinion on
several administrative points in which I concur, says, " y
inspection so far, tends, I think, to show that the proportion of
well nourished children is larger amongst the ill-clad than amongst
the better cared for, and that the ailments the ill-clad suffer from
are not usually traceable to innutrition. The prevalence of enlarged
tonsils and adenoids is, I think, partly due to the overheating of
the kitchens, in which they live, and their bad ventilation, causing
constant catarrhal attacks when going into the open air."
