MEASLES EPIDEMIC
ON THE WANE IN AUCKLAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 20. A distinct improvement in the measles position in Auckland is reported by the Health Department. Returns from eight city firms employing 3787 persons showed that on Monday there were 62 absences, or 1.63 per cent, compared with 78 absences, or 2.06 per cent in the previous week. At Auckland Hospital on Monday there were 20 cases of measles, 14 of these being German measles and only six of a more serious type. In two cases complications had occurred. Last week a boy aged 14 died from pneumonia following measles. The department states there are still a number of school children being affected, but here, too, the position has greatly improved. Adults are also continuing to be affected, but it is considered that the epidemic is definitely on the wane.
