THE SEPTICAEMIA CASE AT GISBORNE .
[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] , i Gisbohne, Wednesday. ;-•'■ I The district health officer, Dr. Delisle, ' with Drs. Collins and Coker, made an examination this morning of smears of the spleen and other organs of the deceased Frederick Manger, and found that the cause of ;; . death was a form of septicaemia. No plague $$t bacilli were discovered, but that does not exclude plague, and other specimens are being sent to Wellington. The balance of \■'' probabilities is that the case is not one of ;;;■(;-.•;.■:plague. V • , : ■ • ' : Dr. Delisle states that if the large micro-, scope at the hospital had been available before the death a good deal of trouble in con- ": ! section with the matter would have .been |egH saved by. the submittal of a drop of deceas-
ed's blood to this test. The house in which Manger lived has been thoroughly fumigated i a.nd the bedding and clothes destroyed.
