Repeated acknowledgment has been made by patients as to the
relief afforded by the Chiropodist—Miss McCallum. An unusually
large number of patients with warts was seen.

The gross cost per treatment was just under Is. 6d., against
2s. 6d. in 1932. The reduction is due entirely to the increased
attendances.
Women's Clinic.—Towards the end of 1931 your Council
decided to set up a Women's Clinic under Section 131 of the Public
Health Act, 1875.
The upper floor of No. 69, Hoe Street, was adapted so as to
provide a room for taking case-history, a consulting room and a
treatment room with three oubicles. In addition, the general
waiting room of the Foot Clinic on the ground floor was used for
a similar purpose, the sessions being held, of course, at different
times.
Mrs. Ivens-Knowles, C.B.E., M.S., Ch.M., F.C.O.G. (who is
also on your Council's panel of Obstetric and Puerperal Consultants)
took clinical charge, and a monthly session has been held during
1932.
Patients are seen for the following conditions:—
(a) Ante and Poet-Natal consultations.
(b) Consultant advice and treatment for women suffering from
gynaecological conditions.
(c) Provision of advice on contraceptive methods for married
women who attend the Clinic for such medical advice or treatment
and in whose cases) pregnancy would be detrimental to health.
