CANCER IN PALMERSTON NORTH HOSPITAL.
LESS THAN IN OTHER HOSPITALS.
Dr. W. E. Fulton, of Otago University, who recently visited and inspected the Palmerston North Hospital, wrote to the board at its meeting on Thursday and tendered thanks for the facilities given him during his visit. He stated that in comparison with other hospitals, it appeared that the Palmerston North Hospital Board had fewer cases of cancer. This, however, might be due to more eases being treated privately than in other districts.
He added that one regrettable feature was the scarcity of post mortem examinations, and it was a pity that more could not be procured. In not a few hospitals he had visited, a post mortem examination had disproved an ante-mor-tem diagnosis of cancer.
