HEALTH WEEK.
Encouraged by the success of the Health Week Exhibition, held in October,
1927, at the Hoxton Market Mission, it was decided this year to engage the large Hall
of the Town Hall for this purpose.
A list of the various exhibits and lectures and the number of attendances on each
day are appended.
The attendances are proof of a most gratifying interest evinced by the people of
this Borough for matters relating to Health. Particularly encouraging were the
excellent attendances at the lectures and the good questions and keen discussions
that often followed.
