COMBATING TYPHOID.
INOCULATION OF MAORIS. "The Maoris of tho Westshore district, are being freely inoculated against typhoid, over a thousand having already been treated," states tho Hawke's Bay. Herald. "The Westshoro residents, like tho Maoris, are without a water-carried sewerage system and are dependent for their water supply upon tanks. In the past fortnight there have been twelve cases of typhoid from Westshoro and all residents of that district run tho risk of infection. They had been advised t« seek inoculation, and a few may have done so. All actually in contact with cases have been cotnpulsorily treated. There is reason to believe that many Jfave not been inoculated, and the authorities now offer in their own interest tljftt. a medical officer of health will tren/ thorn free of charge. Thoso who proffer may arrange privately with their own/medical attendant." /
