Mr. Courtenay Yorke, F.R.C.S., Throat Specialist, Liver- pool, submits the following report on his work at the Tonsils and Adenoids Clinics in this County during the year:— “ During the year sessions were held at four centres in the County—Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, Llanrwst and Denbigh. It was the first occasion that the Clinic at Denbigh had been used for tonsil and adenoid operations. I was extremely pleased with the premises there, which were excellently adapted for the work, and all arrangements had been so carefully made that no difficulty of any kind occurred. Once again it can be stated that no serious incident happened during the year and the results of the operations were general!}' very good.
