VERMINOUS PERSONS CLEANSED DURING 1936.
During the year 7,344 persons were cleansed at the station in King
James Street. Of these, under our agreement with the London County
Council, were 5,297 children.
Many of the children treated were suffering from Scabies. In every
case the treatment at our Station was thoroughly efficacious, and no
recurrence of the trouble was experienced.
2,047 adults sent from the various common lodging houses and
other places in our borough were cleansed during the year, as against
2,305 dealt with under the provisions of Section 125 of the Public Health
(London) Act, 1936, in 1935.
