    X-Ray Examinations have been made at Aylesbury, Windsor and Wycombe Hospitals and in a few cases at Oxford and Northampton and have been of considerable help in many cases, especially in those undergoing Artificial Pneumothorax treatment. Cases of Crippling due to tuberculosis of bones or joints are sent for the most part direct to the Orthopaedic Clinics, so that the majority of the non- pulmonary cases seen at the dispensaries have been those with tuberculous glands, peritonitis, etc. In this connection the danger of milk infected with tubercle bacilli should be emphasised. Dr. Gloyne in a report on over 1,400 samples examined by him recently shows that over 9% of samples of milk of various qualities and over 3% of samples of Grade A “ T. .” milk contained living T.B. Medical practitioners in the County have again given to the T.O. their help and co-operation without which it would be impossible to get and keep in touch with many of the patients.
