"In addition to ear cases a fair number of children are seen with
Chronic Nasal Catarrh. For many of these the treatment devised
by Dr. Gautier of Paris and known as diastolisation is given. The
treatment is usually painless, is unattended by risk and is in most
cases efficient and the results are rapidly obtained. It is a real
advance in the treatment of a troublesome condition.
"The system of organisation adopted when the Clinic was begun
is adhered to. Every patient is given a written appointment stating
the day and hour for next visit. Waste of valuable time waiting
to be seen, is by this method avoided. Parents are more willing
to bring their children if their time is not wasted.
"Miss Brophy attends the Clinic and also visits the Minor
Ailment Clinics. She has carried out efficiently the diastolisation
treatment during the week as often as is necessary and her help has
been most valuable.
"The Clinic is also indebted to Mr. Rushton, the Organising
Clerk, who makes the appointments for the patients and ensures the
absence of friction."
