entirely unnecessary.
Tbe Minister OF the Interior. In response TO In.
uuiries made, stated that there had been eleven
cases reported so far and two deaths. In re9aIdlo
these two cases he would say that the patients snu
their friends did all they could to spread the ulh-
ease by establishing themselves In no less than Tour
houses in Honolulu before they arrived NJ Maihlal,
where they were accidentally discovered NJ INC
point of death. All that timo no information haa
been given 10 any member or agent Of the Board
of Health. i found the sick people next door 10
my residence ut Waikiki. Al ole time the patients
were treated by n Hawaiian doctor.--one OF the
class that some OF the members have been so anx-
ions TO have licensed-who first gave them cold
water baths, rubbed them over with a preparation
Of leaves. and then ordered them TO be placed IN
separate houses so that the disease might spreaa.
When we INQUIRED who this doctor was nobody
could tell us, and TO this day we have not been
able to find him out, and he has gone on carrying
the disease with him, in all human probability, and
tending 20 cure sick people. / make these remarks
to show how much help has been given the Board
OF Health In performing their duties.
