CRIPPLED CHILDREN
PLASTIC SURGEON’S SERVICES. MALFORMATION OF MOUTHS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, March 13. Confirmation Of the report that his services 'would be at the disposal of the proposed organisation for crippled children was given to-day by Dr. H. P. Pickerill, the well-known plastic surgeon. He emphasised, however, that in giving his services he would be doing no more than is done by any medical man attached in an honorary capacity to a public hospital. Mr. Pickerill has in recent years made a special study of the problem of cleft palates in babies. He sees in the fund now established an opportunity to extend the Service to crippled children to include not only those with malformed limbs but also those with malformed mouths, an equally serious if not in some cases greater handicap.
