FEAR OF CONSUMPTION.
“ NOT VERY CONTAGIOUS.” Consumption is not very contagious, according to Dr. Bernstein, who lately came out from England to take charge of the Maungakawa Consumptive Sanitorium. He stated at a meeting of the Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board that patients who were very ill liked to be with their families, and families who had any sense of humanity liked their relatives with them. “ Since I came here,” he added, I have seen some of the most abominable things that ever came under my notice—wives refusing to live with their husbands, and children flying from their fathers, because they had consumption. There seems to be a deplorable fear about consumption, which is quite wrong, for in a properly managed and clean place I would sooner be with consummptives than in this boardroom with all its windows closed.”
