"Of the cases operated on at the Clinic, there were
"again no cases reported to me of any serious compli"cations
arising after operation.
"Once more I have to thank both the Clinic and
"Voluntary Staff for their loyal co-operation, and also
"Dr. Stinson for her care in administering the anæs"thetics."
Charles Benet, m.a., m.b., B.ch., m.r.c.s.
Orthopaedic Clinic.
As this Clinic has now been in existence for seven
years it seems almost unnecessary to define it, but
apparently some indication is necessary of the type of
work that this Clinic performs. All children shewing
physical deformity are referred to the Consultant, who
attends twice a month; he directs surgical treatment
in the Orthopædic Hospital, and the remedial exercises,
or massage, at the School Clinic by the masseuse, who
attends on five sessions each week. A Sunlight Clinic
is held twice weekly in conjunction with the Orthopædic
Clinic. The work of the Clinic is not limited to school
children only. There can be no doubt of the valuable
work that this Clinic is doing for the crippled child,
and as the report of the Consultant will shew, many
children are being returned to a normal physical condition.
Mr. H. J. Seddon reports as follows on cases

"P.J. Admitted 24/10/31 with a fracture of the

discharged on 19/1/32. Unfortunately, both bones were
broken again in February and the child was re-admitted
on 18/3/32. The fragments were manipulated
correct position under anæsthesia and the patient was
discharged on 5/5/32.
"P.G. Admitted 10/2/32 with a thickened scar
on the neck following a burn. The scar was excised
