TRENTHAM'S MYSTERIOUS DISEASE
PRACTICALLY DIAGNOSED. . By Telegraph.—Press Association. Duneclin, July 15: Dr. Champtaloup and Dr. Bowie returned to Dunedin from Wellington last night after visiting Trentham for the purpose of inquiring into the nature of the mysterious disease which has appeared in the camp. Interviewed, Dr. Champtaloup said Dr. Bowie and himself had, as bacteriologists, definitely diagnosed the disease and had prepared a report which they handed in before leaving. Dr. Champtaloup said that as no public statement had yet been made, he could not indicate the nature of the disease.
Asked whether it had occurred in New Zealand before, Dr. Champtaloup replied in the affirmative, and added that, the disease was not peculiar to Trentham, having occurred in tho military camps of Great Britain and the Continent.
fit is understood 'that the investigations are still beiiif; conducted by the Government Bacteriologist in Wellington," and that while the disease has been practically diagnosed only an interim report has been handed in so far.]
