CEREBRO-SPINAL MENINGITIS
TOLAGA BAY OUTBREAK. GISBORNE, Monday. There .is now no danger of the cere-bro-spinal meningitis outbreak in the Tolaga Bay district spreading. The isolation of the two households affected has been lifted, and it is hoped that the same course will be taken with the third by to-morrow. It is expected that the three patients who are in hospital Avill recover. These points were mentioned, by Dr. 11. B. Turbott, Medical Officer of Health, who returned from the coast during the week-end. Swabs taken from the contacts were negative, with the exception of two which were doubtful. It is fortunate, Dr. Turbott added, that the outbreak occurred in an isolated country district, for the disease appeared in a virulent form which might easily have turned to .a serious epidemic had eases occurred in a thickly populated area. —(P.A.)
