MYSTERIOUS COMPLAINT.
FORTY MEN SUFFERING AT LIMESTONE ISLAND. Per Press Association. Whangarei, January 8. A remarkable seizure of violent sickness has attacked the men employed at Limestone Island. At ten o’clock this morning some twenty men were down suffering acute pains in the stomach and vomiting, and by 2.30 it was reported that forty men weie affected. The theory was set up that it was English cholera, but Dr. Hall, who visited the island, does not think so. Though he cannot at present diagnose the complaint, he believes it to be some form of poisoning. Some of the men ate fish, but many of thev bad other food, which makes the affair all the more mysterious. The whole population of the island is in a state of perturbation. The matter is being fully enquired into. /
