Rheumatism Clinic: This Clinic is held each Thursday
morning (except during the school holidays) in the Town Hall
Buildings under the direction of Dr. Gerald Slot, who being
on the staff of the Royal Waterloo Hospital and the Royal
Hospital, Richmond, is able to treat many of the children at
these institutions. A lady visitor from the Invalid Children's
Aid Association attends each session of this Clinic and reports
to the Association details of those cases who are in need of
convalescent or special hospital treatment.
I repeat my remarks of previous years expressing the
gratitude due from this Authority to the Invalid Children's Aid
Association who make between 100 and 200 visits each year
to the homes of the children in this district and obtained the
Convalescent Home treatment for the seven children mentioned
below without making any charge to this Borough.
During the year 71 children made 483 attendances at the
Rheumatism Clinic.

In addition one case of sub-acute nephritis was admitted
to the Royal Waterloo Hospital.
Convalescnt Home treatment was obtained by the Invalid
Children's Aid Association for the following seven children:—
Two cases of Rheumatism, three of heart disease and two
of Chorea. The Convalescent Homes are at Banstead,
Broadstairs, Eastbourne, St. Leonards and West Wickham.
