I = Writing from "Walton-on-Thames Hospital last October, Sister C. E. Cutforth, of Gisborne, says: "We sire experiencing a terrible epidemic of influenza j and over fifty sisters are 'down' with it at . Several boys have died at . One of our sisters was called hurriedly to camp the other day, and ; she says the conditions there are awful. A long ward with only two sisters and) one V.A.D. left standing* Thero were nearly 100 delirious cases, and the poor matron was nearly desperate with all her staff suffering and cases coming ini at' almost every moment. She had ap-. pealed for help, but the hospitals could 7V>t send any relief, and more than this V.A.D.'s were unprocurable —to use a shop expression—as the complaint is spreading rapidly amongst the cm* liauß."
