TYPHOID FEVER.
This illness, typhoid fever, has greatly afflicted many this year, Maori and Pakeha, but predominantly Maori. This illness struck Tokomaru where the grandchildren of Wiremu Potae contracted it. A Pakeha nursed them. When they recovered, the Pakeha contracted it and died. We praise the work of that person.
