32 cases of ringworm of the scalp were treated to a completion at
Bruce Castle prior to the discontinuance of the clinic there, and thereafter
24 at the North Middlesex Hospital.
137 cases of otorrhoea have been treated by ionic medication, and,
in 82 of these, the discharge from the ears has ceased. It will be noted
that cure of those 82 is not claimed. Those cases will be observed over
a long period to ascertain that the cessation of discharge is permanent.
Arrangements have also been made with the North Middlesex Hospital
for the operative treatment of children suffering from enlarged tonsils and
adenoids, and provision is made for retention of cases in hospital when
necessary.
Operations for enlarged tonsils and adenoids were performed in respect
of 187 cases at Bruce Castle, and 201 at the North Middlesex Hospital.
