TYPHOID AT SUVA
TRACED TO WATER MAIN ISLAND NOW FREE FROM DISEASE. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 18. Dr G. Frengley, who returned from Suva this morning with four nursing sisters, states the typhoid epidemic has been traced to a blocked water main, which carried typhoid germs into the domain, and contaminated the town supply. About three hundred people, including 120 Europeans, caught the fever, and seven white people died, including one or two New Zealanders. Suva now is quite safe for tourists. When Dr Frengley left there were no new cases, except one or two Indians, who were catching the fever from relatives.
