CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS.
Work of this nature is carried out when required by H. Amphlett
Williams, Esq., Ph.D.(Lond.), A.C.G.F.C., F.R.I.C., Public Analyst, and
the Counties Public Health Laboratories.
NUTRITION.
The general standard of nutrition amongst infants and toddlers
attending infant welfare centres remains on a reasonably high level. No
gross vitamin deficiencies were noted and it would appear that mothers
are taking full advantage of the Government scheme for the provision
of welfare foods. During the whole of the year, including months
subsequent to the transfer of the services to the Surrey County Council,
proprietary brands of vitamin preparations, in addition to those provided
under the Government's welfare food scheme, have been offered for sale
at reduced charges to parents attending infant welfare centres. This
service has been much appreciated, as many children cannot digest cod
liver oil, and, in some cases, orange juice.
SHELL FISH (MOLLUSCAN).
Only a small quantity of shell fish is marketed in the district, and is
obtained chiefly from Billingsgate Market, London.
