89
now aged 18, 1G, 12, then 2 miscarriages then another child age 7,
and had 3 miscarriages since, last in August 1925; in each case at
five months.
Very bad pyorrhea, had teeth all removed Christmas, 1925.
This was followed by considerable hemorrhage and sockets had to
be plugged.
Never seemed right since miscarriage and was pulled down by
dental extractions. She got on fairly well until March 1926 and
then had a bad cold. Lost her voice. Very severe hrtadachep.
Had a similar attack in May. Began to lose use of her legs and
arms and couldn't feel the ground. No sense of pressure but felt
as if she was walking backwards. Was very feverish. Severe
headaches. Delirious. Aching all over body and limbs. She was
in bed between 6 and 7 weeks. When told to get up her legs felt
stone cold up to her knees. She was up one hour the first day and
had to go back to bed as she felt so ill and terribly weak. The next
day when she got up she had great difficulty in standing. She
went into the next door and couldn't get back again and had to be
carried back. She was under the Doctor for 10 weeks more. Partial
loss of use of her hand. For some time she used to drop things.
She had no sleep night or day for 5 months. Now dreams
rubbish all night. Had never felt drowsy. Had 2 days diplopia
at the commencement of attack. Her sight is not so good now.
Now feels very weak and troubled with the feeling of walking
backwards. No nystagmus. No tremors.
TUBERCULOSIS.
There is a definite need for an open air recovery school which
will deal with convalescent, tubercular, pre-tubercular, and delicate
children. I am convinced that money spent in this direction is
money wisely expended.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
The number of new cases notified during the year was 57.
