TYPHOID CASES
INFECTION FROM RIVER?
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
-I'EW PLYMOUTH, This Day. There are five children with typhoid fever in New Plymouth Hospital. The cases are not serious and the authorities do not anticipate any spread of infection. Four of the children, whose ages range from 4 to 11 years, are of one family. The other child stayed the week-end with the family. All five children went swimming in Tehenui river, and the health officer thinks that possibly that was the source of infection. Other children of the same family who did not swim were not infected.
