FrictfuL treatment of the aged poor at Wandsworth and Clapham
Dr W J Connor reports the aged paupers in the Wandsworth and Clapham union house suffer from dirt and neglect rather than pediculi. Poor supply of clean clothes, irregular washing, and fear of staff lead to widespread vermin spread. He urges a paid superintendent, stricter admission checks, personal clothing tagging, separate beds, and oven-baking clothes when vermin is suspected.
