INTRODUCTION.
School Medical Department,
Town Hall,
Tottenham,
March, 1928.
To the Chairman and other Members of the Tottenham
Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In this report particular attention is directed to the excellent
results of treatment of otorrhæa by ionization.
When this treatment was commenced, there were heavy arrears to
overtake of cases of long standing resistant to the ordinary methods of
treatment.
The arrears are wiped out, and patients can be dealt with as they
are discovered, without any period of waiting. While they are still in
the acute stage, treatment is most effective, a rapid and complete recovery
almost invariably resulting.
It would be a considerable advantage to the chronic cases could they
be retained under our own Ear Specialist for their operative treatment.
During the year nothing has occurred to impede the harmonious and
efficient working of the School Medical Department.
What that has meant to the school population can very inadequately
be expressed in terms of tables and script. Health and happiness are
neither translatable nor measureable.
May I on my own behalf and in the name of the staff express
gratification in serving a Committee that so zealously, as does yours,
safeguards the welfare of the school children ?
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
David b Kirkhore.
