The Problem as an Industrial Doctor sees It
T.O. Garland

This is the fifth talk in this series and the third dealing with the conditions of different sections of the community. This week the subject is nutrition as it affects the worker. The talk will be given by a doctor who is medical officer in one of our largest and most advanced modern factories. He will describe the problem of nutrition and the worker as he sees it. He is responsible for the health of the workers employed by his factory, and has intimate knowledge of nutrition, not only as it affects men actually in work but - since he interviews candidates for a job, many of whom have possibly been unemployed for some time - also workers who are unemployed. He will speak of the conclusions he has drawn about the problem of nutrition as it affects working-class families.
