TYPHOID AGAIN?
| WAIKERIA INSTITUTE. THREE SUSPECTED CASES. (By* Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, Monday. Three cases of suspected typhoid fever are under observation at the Waikeria Borstal Institute. The patients are isolated and their condition is described as satisfactory. Early this year, five cases of typhoid from Waikeria were sent to the Waikato Hospital. Two of the 'five died. At the inquest into one of the deaths it was shown that the conditions in the prison were quite satisfactory, and the water of various streams, on being analysed, gave a negative return. It was thought possible that the source of infection might be an open garbage pit some distance away, and this the authorities undertook to have filled in.
