TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
CHRISTCHURCH OUTBREAK TWO DEATHS REPORTED Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Today. During the last fortnight an outbreak of typhoid has occurred in Christchurch, six eases, two of them fatal, having been reported. In one case, which ended fatally, the patient ate tainted oysters. Exhausttive inquiries are being made. The investigations into the causes of the outbreak have, it is understood, practically established that it has not been due to the water or milk being affected by the typhoid germ. Cases of typhoid or, as it is more - commonly referred to, enteric fever, do not occur very frequently in the Canterbury health district. Recently there was an isolated case in South Canterbury, but it is some time since there were any cases in Christchurch before the present outbreak.
