work clone in the Aural Clinic during 1933.
Eighty-three clinics were held during the year, with a total
attendance of 1,845. Sixty-two per cent. of the cases were, after
treatment, discharged cured.
I operated on 276 East Ham children for septic tonsils and
adenoids, and in 7 cases of chronic mastoid disease.
The statistical report is as follows:—
Cases of Chronic Otitis Media 210 Discharged 144
Cases of Deafness 51 „ 23
Other Ear Cases 41 „ 33
Cases of Chronic Rhinitis 58 „ 33

Adenoids 188 „ 109

I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks
to the medical, nursing and clerical staffs for their very efficient
help.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
RONALD SAVEGE.
