T.B. RESEARCH.
BRITISH FELLOWSHIP AWARD. DR. TURBOTT, OF EAST CAPE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Dr. H. B. Turbott, medical officer of health in tho East Cape district, has been awarded a Dorothy Temple Fellowship in tuberculosis, by the Medical Research Council of Great Britain. He proposes to carry out a very complete investigation in his district. The inquiry will be largely clinical, but will also involve full investigation into the housing and nutrition of subjects examined. The work will not involve the fulltime services of Dr. Turbott, who will continue to carry out his duties as medical officer of health and school medical officer. In making the announcement, Dr. Watt, Director-General of Health, eaicl it was most gratifying to know that there existed this measure of co-opera-tion between New Zealand and Great Britain in regard to medical research, and he hoped this was the forerunner of similar investigations of matters of common interest to Britain and New Zealand.
