APPENDIX D.
REPORT ON DERMATOLOGICAL AND ACTINOTHERAPEUTIC DEPARTMENT FOR THE
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31st, 1934,
by H. D. HALDIN-DAVIS, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S.
No development of any very novel kind has taken place in this department during the past year,
but the usual activities have been pursued and the numbers of the patients attending the various
sessions have been well maintained. Certainly the "Artificial Sunlight" has proved its continued
popularity, as is shown by the published figures, which show that it is well patronised both by children
of school age and those who are still under the care of the Maternity and Child Welfare departments.
The majority of the patients suffer from rather vague forms of debility, and the stimulating effect of
the treatment prevents more serious developments.
