A report on three investigations of the medical school-service on children from foreign countries is given. The foreign children are normally smaller than German children, but in relation to their stature more heavily built. Vaccination status and documentation are insufficient. Nevertheless, disturbances in organic functioning considered to be attributed to damages caused by our "society of civilization" are less prominent in foreign children. The necessary actions of improving the above mentioned situation are pointed out.
