Infant Welfsrc In addition to the Bununersido Baby Clinic which la held each Fridcy afternoon. monthly clinics were held during tho gtlmlflfl’ and autumn tn Albany, Kensington and Wellington. The total number of infants and young children attend- ing these clinics was 208, of whom l2l were infants under 1 year of age. 447 visits were madcto the clinics. 303 of them being by in- fonts under l year of age. I40 of the children attending were from Summers-tile, 59 children were from the rural districts and of these the largest number, 28, wera from the Wellington district. Comparing the clinics this year with those of 1947, 32 more babies received health supervision. In ad- dition to the clinic work, 181 visits were made to infants and pre school children in their own homes for the purpose of teaching their mothers to safeguard their health. School Heultli Wot-k Aa a great deal of time was spent during the year on immuni- zation against such preventable diselses as small-pox. diphtheria. whooping cough anddock-jaw. less time was available for school health supervision. i428 children were examined by the nurse, or 661 less than in 1947. Of these examined 58 p. c. were found to have apparent physical defects, which is an improvement of 10 p. c.- vcr 1947. 'I'he large number of elects corrected, 308 in this group. shows the great in- terest parents have in doing their very best in following advice given. and in putting their children un- der the supervision of their family physician for the corrections which are a detriment to their health. Defects ‘Found (a) As always, tho largest num- ber of defects were children with decayed permanent teeth. 083 chil- dren wcre in this group or 4'7 p.c. If all children could have 1 quart of milk a day, 2 teaspoons of Cod Liver 0ll, or a concentrate’, fruit and vegetables and whole grain cereals. and less candy, less gum, less soft drinks, less cake and Cookies and other sweets, our chit- dren might have better teeth. If some lllildrerl on a. good diet can have perfect teeth, surely it is something towards which we should all keep striving. (b) 112 children or '7 p.c. were found to have abnormal tonsils. When,we realize how many other more serious ‘conditions, suui as heart disease, rheumatic fever. chores (or StTVItus dance) run- ning ears with perhaps resultant deafness, etc, can be caused by in- fected tonsils, I am sure parents would not want. to delay consult- ing their family physician for his advice. i (c) D4 children were found with defective vision. Parents, on the whole. are very eager to save their children's eyes. and perhaps a. higher percentage of vision defects are corrected than any other. (d) ll children were found with defective hearing. Some of these could undoubtedly be improved with modern medical treatment. Only a few of them seemed so bad and of such long standing that education in a school for the deaf seemed the only solution. (e) Lesa than f p. c. appeared to be mentally defective. It was gratifying to have 13'! parents sufficiently interested to come to the school to consult vrlth the nurse at the time of her ex- amination of their children, Th; nurse can be of much greater help to the parents in trying to share her htcrwledgo of' health with them, if they can be present at the time of the examination of their children, especially the younger children. 134 homo visits were made to school children whose parents were unable to come to the school, Immunisation livery school in the_ district was visited at least three times for the purpose of ilnmunfzlng the children against dightherla“ Whugp- in: cough and lock-Jaw. The total number; of children inoculated dur- ins the year was ma. of illese ase received three inoculations and 227'! received 1 reinforcing dose. The local physicians assisted Dr. B- G- Keeping. Chief Medical Of- ficer, in this work. The Publlg Health Nurse planned the clinics. 51511111011 the needles and syringes elm. and saisted the doctor at me clinics. The iargevnumber treated shows clearly the great interest of the parents in preventing com- municable diseases. Home Visits-For the piupose of health education, ‘I46 home visits were made during the year. This is 43'! less than in 1947 but with the extensive immunisation programme Dependable ivlsx INCAIDESCENT and FLUORESCENT \ Distributors ,' A. T. llfllllll.

Tuberculosis Monthly chest clinics are held by Dr. P. A. Oreeiman in Summer-side where patients referred by their family physicians are examined without charge. There are between 25 and so patients examined each month by Dr. Creelmsri. . In- addition. pneumothorax clin- ics are held in Summeralde each week by Dr. Henry Mcyse. Over 300 treatments were given during the year. The Public Health Nurse assists at all of then clinics. 1n addition to the visitsmsdo by the nurse devoting her whoietimo to Tuberculosis work, the district nurse made 42 visits to tuberculo- sis patients and 124 visits to con- tacts of tuberculosis. 1'72 Patch Tests were applied. The so chil- dren having posltivc patch tests had chest X-Rays. During the year many of the newly found cases of tuberculosis were among those utlo had not bothered to have the Mobile X-Ray. Until the whole population has s. chest X- Ray regularly we cannot hope 4o stamp out this dread disease that killed more Canadians during the war than did bombs and bullets. Crippled Children Under the auspices of the Red Cross Society, two clinics were held in Summer-side by Dr. Tom Acker of I-Ialifalf. About 125 children re- ceived treatment.
