A child died from tubercle on the brain in Napier recently, says the Herald. The father asked the medical attendant how the disorder might be contracted. The doctor replied that infants frequently contracted tubercle by partaking of milk from a tuberculous cow. The inspector of nuisances was communicated with. He went to the dairy of the man who supplied milk to the family in which the death occurred, and found a tuberculous cow. It was at once destroyed, but as the child was dead (and possibly as other children may have become tuberculous), it would have been much better if the cow had been killed long before. Two Maori skeletons were unearthed at New Plymouth the other day while some men were excavating in a back yard. The remains were claimed by some Maoris.
