"Tuberculosis." By Harley Williams, Esq., M.D., D.P.H., Medical Commissioner,
National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
"Secrets of Good Health." By Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane, Bt., C.B., M.S., F.R.C.S.,
President of the New Health Society.
The average attendance each evening was 390. Cinema films and lantern slides were
also shown.
The Exhibition was very well patronised—one day alone there were over 9,300 visitors,
the total for the week being 34,386.
The week was undoubtedly a huge success.
A statement of the accounts and expenditure has been furnished to the Borough
Treasurer.
J. M. BROWNE,
Medical Officer of Health.
The undoubted success of the week was due, in the main, to the unstinted
efforts of the Medical Officer of Health, the Chief Clerk (Mr. W. F. Lellow)
and the other members of the Staff of the Public Health and Maternity and
Child Welfare Departments, and we have expressed to them our appreciation
of the work which they ungrudgingly performed to make the "week" the
success that it was.
(Signed) Alderman C. B. Lankester, J.P.,
Chairman.
