END OF EPIDEMIC

NORMAL LIFE BEING RESUMED 1

"Nothing to report," v the i»-i ply given to inquiries at local centres in' \ regard ,to the epidemic. In other words, i though a few fresh cases are stiU ooenrring, the epidemic, as such, msy now be ; said to be definitely over, and the pub- • lie as a whole may breathe freely again, i The emergency hospitals, which haw •* stopped admitting fresh cases, may be * expected to be closed' down altogether j by the end of next Week or the begin-; ning of tie next, •while the convalescent - hospitals should follow in rapid succes- i sion. There is, indeed, cause for deep i thankfulness that the epidemic has been i so rapidly and completely scotched, tha I credit being due to the organisations j which have battled so bravely against \ it.

For those who may etall be affected ~; and require medicine, arrangements have • been made whereby tho same may still be obtained at the Town Hall until Monday next, after which fresh provisions f ■will be notified. The inhalation cham- j ber established by the General Post I Office in Nathan's Building, Featherstwn- t street, will be available for use by the j public to-morrow between the honrs of '[ 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ■ The normal business life of the com- i munity, together with the : necessary, ser- I vices, has been almost fully resumed, ,\ and is expected to be completely restored ' by the end of next week.
