Eighty per cent, of the babies born tinder the auspices of the Thames Plunket Society during the past year have been naturally fed, so reports Nurse AT. Johnstone in her annual report.

Following are the figures of the different places: Visits to rooms—Thames: 2,330; Waitakaruru: 291: Xgatea: 576; Turua: 387; Iverepeehi: 315. Visits to homes—Thames: 775; new* babies: 88; Waitakaruru: 279: new* babies: 21; Xgatea: 104: new babies: 19; Turua: 190; new babies: IS; Kerepeehi: 90; new* babies: 10.
