DR. TRUBY KING'S MISSION.
Dr. Truby King, who recently visited Taranaki, was interviewed in Timaru tlic other day, and told a ‘Timaru Hor-
aid’ representative that ho had found public interest in the health movement as keen as he could hope for. He lias now given addresses in every part of the Dominion except South Canterbury, liis duties as a lecturer at Ot. go University calling him away from this work for the present. A lien the tour was begun there were only eight branches of the Women’s Society in' New Zealand. Now there are about 50, and it is expected there will be 00 when the tour is finished, including at least 20 centres where a Plunket nurse will be established, who will perform local services and visit the surrounding district. There are now about one thousand persons on the various committees of the society. The Government is taking the keenest interest in this work. In no places has the response to Dr. Trilby King’s effort been more encouraging than in the districts last visited —Westland, Nelson, and Marlborough.
