DISEASED GUINEA PIGS
HOSPITAL STAFF CONCERN
GISBORNE, Nov. 7
Tlie thief or thieves who on recent Sundays have - removed a number of guinea pigs from cages at the Cook Hospital possibly secured more than they bargained for. The guinea pigs are kept tor experimental purposes, and the discovery that their number had been diminished caused a certain amount of concern among the medical staff, for the animals have been inoculated with various diseases such as tuberculosis, and persons handling them are liable to contract disease.
Apart from the danger of infection, the removal of the guinea pigs lias occasioned grave inconvenience to the hospital authorities, and it is stated that the recovery of somo of tlie patients may be retarded.
