You should obtain Medical advice at once. In the event of
your position being such that you cannot afford to consult a
private doctor it is recommended that you should take the Child
to the Out-patient Department of the Royal Hospital.
If properly attended to the ailment should soon be cured,
consequently, any prolonged abstention of the Child from
School will render you liable to prosecution.
