WORRIES OF A HOSPITAL BOARD
(BT TELEGRAPH"— SPECIAL 10' THB POST.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Several interesting cases were reported to the Hospital Board. in committee yesterday. In one, two children who have occupied the attention of tlie staff at intervals since 1910 were taken for the cure of hysterical paralysis., Their feet were so doubled that they could not walk. Cures having been effected, they were taught to walk, and were discharged. The mother (a 'tradesman's wife) failed to maintain the good results, however, and after wheeling them about for a while sent the children back to the hospital. This had occurred periodically, and now the woman has herself gone on a two months' holiday to Gisborne. The chairman (Mr. H. Schofield) remarked that- such action* were not fair to the board or to the public, especially as in the present instance the fees were woefully behind in payment At his instance, it was decided that the relieving officer should make enquiries and report to the, board.
