BUNDABERG INQUIRY
INTO INOCULATION TRAGEDY (Rec. February 14, 9.35 p.m.) Brisbane, February 14. Before the Serum Commission, Dr. Munrray, of the Federal Department of Health, gave evidence that the bottles containing the serum usually had attached a warning urging quick use, but those issued to Dr. Thompson had not. The attending nurse declared that every precaution was taken in sterilising the instruments used for inoculation.
Dr. Harris, superintendent of Bunda-l.-erg Hospital, gave evidence that most of the children had convulsions of a peculiar type, and their temperatures were as high as 105; He injected antitoxin, thinking there might have been a lack of balance between’ the toxin and antitoxin, but it gave no particular benefit. Oxygen was administered extensively, but did no good. He bad never seen similar sickness, and had had no experience in immunisation.
