Attendances
Average Number
111. A total of 149 cases of congenital Syphilis were treated during the year.
112. Home visiting is carried out by the nurses at the various clinica where attendance for treatment is irregular and attempts are made to persuade the patients to attend more regularly.
113. Proclamation No. 28 of the 21st March, 1946 giving powers for compulsory treatment of certain classes of cases lapsed at the end of 1947, but notifications of sources of infection are still being made and health visitors who subsequently get in toucli with such girls have proved successful in persuading them to attend for treatment without the aid of legal powers of compulsion.
114. Tables 16 to 18 show the average number of attendance, at the different clinics for enses of syphilis for the years 1946, 1947 and 1948. The low average of altendances at the Ashley Road Clinic is due to the high proportion of transients, such as seamen, who attend there,

(a) Centres.
115. There are three Maternity and Child Welfare Centres, one at Trim Taa Tsui in Kowloon and one each at the Harcourt and Western Centres on the Island. Besides aute-natal and neo-natal clinics there are clinics for the care of babies up to 2 years of age. Test feeling and supplementary feeding where necessary is carried out and an extra meal of congee, meat and vegetables is given to mothers who need it. Home visita are paid by the Health Nurses. Considerable attention has been con- centrated on the instruction of mothers and classes of instruction and the showing of films, lantern slides and other methods of demonstration were employed on the principle of instructing cer- tain selected more intelligent mothers with the idea that they would in turn talk to and instruct their friends. Table 19 shows the attendances at the Infant Welfare Centres:-
