BUNDABERG TRAGEDY
SERUM COMMISSION’S INVESTIGATIONS FURTHER MEDICAL EVIDENCE BRISBANE, February 14. Before the Serum Commission, Dr Murray gave evidence that the bottles containing 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 tho instruments used for inoculation. Dr Harris, superintendent of the Bundaberg Hospital, gave evidence. Most of the children had convulsions of a peculiar type, and the temperatures were as high as 106. He injected antitoxin, thinking there might have been a lack of balance between the toxin and the anti-toxin, but it gave no particular benefit. Oxygen was administered extensively, hut it did no good. He had never seen similar sickness, and had had no experience in immunisation.
