INFLUENZA IN CAMP
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, July 30
Between 90 and 100 military patients, principally from the Territorial camp at Addington, have been sent to hospital at Burwood with mild influenza.
Sir Hugh,Aeland, Assistant Director of Medical Services, said that the number from Addington was about 15 per cent, of the total in camp, but a fair amount of influenza was natural at this time, and the outbreak was causing him no anxiety. There was no hospital at Addington, and consequently every man off sick from the camp there had to be sent to the city or to Burwood.
