GUESTS STRICKEN.
WEDDING BREAKFAST SEQUEL
Per Press Association. HAWERA, April 9. Of nearly 100 guests who attended a wedding reception and breakfast at Eltliam yesterday the majority complained afterward of illness. Sonic were mildly affected, but others developed violent nausea with headaches, dizziness and loss of the use or their limbs. The symptoms indicated a form of food poisoning, a.nd samples of the food were taken by the District Health Officer for bacteriological examination. Many of the guests had to receive medical attention and some are still under treatment. Perhaps one clue to the cause oi the illness comes from the experience o one family. Only the adults attended the wedding breakfast, but a child, who was left at home, was promised “something nice from the brides table ” The mother arrived home with three small cakes filled with cream which the child ate, afterward becoming violently ill.
