FOOD POISONING
THREE ; WOMEN ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND. April 5. As a result of severe illness after a meal on Monday night, three members of a Papakura family were admitted to the Auckland Hospital early this morning, suffering from food poisoning. The sufferers were Mrs W. G. Markwich, aged 53, of Papakura, and her daughters, Miss Melva Markwich, aged 23, and Miss Hazel Markwich, aged 19. After being attended by a doctor at Papakura, they were taken in an ambulance to the Auckland Hospital, where the condition of Miss Melva Markwich and Mrs Markwich was reported to be satisfactory. That of Miss Hazel Markwich, however, was still fairly serious. It is believed that their illness was due to corned beef they had eaten, as other members of the family who ate mutton instead were not affected.
