"This child had a fit just before Christmas - was thought to have meningitis but didn't. Housing very good, clean, not overcrowded. Nurse says she was always a backward child, very slow to learn to speak. Dr confirms that she is subnormal. Her convulsive seizures at Christmas were probably hysterical - she had had too much excitement."
