TREATMENT BY WIRELESS.
LADY PASSENGER’S ILLNESS.
Per 1 ress Association. NELSON, March 31. During the Aralmra’s passage from Nelson to Wellington on Monday evening a lady passenger was stricken with a sudden and serious illness. Tliero being no doctor on board, the wireless operator, Mr Bacon, described tho symptoms to a doctor in Wellington, who gave instructions as to treatment which, with the assistance of a lady passenger and a chemist who happened to bo on board, were systematically followed. Further, when the vessol arrived at Wellington the medical man, who had been called again when the vessel was coming into the Heads, was on the wharf awaiting the arrival of the patient, who was then takon to a private hospital. It is felt that had it not been for the wireless and the precautions taken death would probably hare occurred.
