FATAL BURNS.
Gisborne, August 24,
An elder sister of an 18 months’ old boy, Edward Kerman Fishback, took a billy full of boiling water to the bathroom and told the infant not to touch it. The child, however, grabbed.the billy and the boiling water went over him. The mother applied olive oil and lime water but as the wound did not improve, took the eliild to a doctor. Later the child was removed to the Cook Hospital, where he died. At an inquest to-day, medical evidence was given to the effect that when admitted to the hospital the wound was septic and that death was due to taxaemin following on burns. A verdict was returned accordingly.
