THE PLAGUE.
FOOLISH SYDNEY PEOPLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, last night. Dr Sbarman, the Auckland Health Officer, has returned from Sydney. Asked what precautions were taken against plague there, he replied : “ Aosolutely none. After examination a case is pronounced to be plague; it is removed to the Coast Hospital. If merely a suspicious case, unless the surroundings are absolutely filthy, no precautions are taken. Plague contacts are allowed to go about their business in the ordinary way. The people of Sydney regard the plague as a matter of course. Medical men regard it as no more serious than typhoid, and not anything like so serious as smallpox.”
