Sir,
I have the honour to present my fourth annual report on the
work clone in the Aural Clinic during 1932.

attendance of 1,622. Fifty-eight per cent, of the cases were, after
treatment, discharged cured.
The arrangements for operations by me on East Ham children
in the Invalid Children's Hospital, Balaam Street, have continued
to work satisfactorily, and during the year 1 operated on 296 cases
of enlarged tonsils and adenoids, and on 4 cases of chronic mastoid
disease.
The statistical report of my Aural Clinic is as follows :—
| Cases of Chronic Otitis Media | 193 Discharged 109 | |
| Cases of Deafness | 26 „ 8 | |
