Par- ramore, director, shows 203 cases treated and a dental ease, which was very unusual. A boy of eight had been suf- fering for several days with a general mouth infection occasion- ed by four badly abscessed teeth. He was referred to a local den- tist for examination and was ad- vised that the four teeth be ex- tracted at once. There are no funds available for dental work at the Clinic, but with the case pressing and the family unable to bear the expense, one of the lo- cal dentists volunteered the work. It was necessary to administer ether te:the child in order to per- form the four extractions at one time, ashe had been unable to eat solid food for several days ,and was in a very weak conditian. The operation was entirely, sue cessful, and probably saved, the ,& life of the child in his weak and toxie condition. There were 224 prescriptions filled of which 139 patients paid a small sum to partially cover the cost of drugs. The others re- ceived theirs gratis. Home visits to morbidity cases continued. This service affords the patients the opportunity of receiving instructions in home care for the case in question. At the same time case-information may be secured by the nurse in charge whereby the clinic doc- tors may give medication and re- lief to the patients until such time as the patients may be able to visit the clinic for a thorough examination. There were 14 visits in tuber- culosis cases. Continued work in this field includes X-ray pictures of chests of patients and examina- tions of Social Welfare workers. New nurses at the Clinic is Miss Claudia Logan, who is on duty daily, except Saturday after+ noon and Sunday, for office con- ference and other nursing service.
