In the case of Hoppe Sniffep, some
peculiar facts have come to light. AS
soon as she was taken sick she sent for
the Chinese physician popularity
known as DIR. "Jones.n 1t had been
told her that he could cure cholera.
He set about to do something for the
woman, but finding the case more
than he could manage, telephOned to
the Board of Health office. The am
bulance was sent out and the sick
woman taken to the cholera hospital.
She was in very weak condition. AT
the hospital the Chinese physician
left some medicine and said be would
''be around in the morning" to see
how his patient was progressing.
Although there were three new cases
of cholera reported up to midnight
last night, the situation may be said
TO be much improved during the past
twenty-four hours. Those reported
were all in the localities previously
infected. One of the cases developed
at the cholera hospital among those
who had been placed in quarantine
there and taken from premises where
the disease made its appearance.
The Committee of Ten held a meet
ing last night and discussed several
important matters bearing on the
question of inspection. Additional in
structiOns will be given sub-inspectors
as to minute investigation of all pre-
misses at least once daily. Reports
tary condition of the city to be much
better than formerly. In order to
stamp out the disease, it has been
found necessary to make q more COM
plete investigation. All cases of sick
ness, no matter of what degree, will
be reported to headquarters, with due
recommendations. 1t is hoped this
will have good effect. All the sub
inspectors have been working with a
will, and no fault is found with their
labors.
A feeling of security pervades the
community that the extent of disease
has been reached, and, with a con-
tinuance of the methods now en-
ployed, the complete eradication OF
the dread monster will soon be over
come.
Several well known citizens have
ventured the opinion that il will yet
become necessary TO enforce a strict
house quarantine and all hands join in
imperative inspection duty. While !
this action is not thought to be abso- !
lutely necessary at the present, there |
will be no relaxation Of the good work !
commenced and now being faithfully |
carried out.
At the meeting of the Board Of /
Health yesterday the question OF !
changing the course of Nuuanu stream /
toward Iwilei from a pOint where il /
now empties into the haTbOT, was dis (
cussed at length, but no decision (
reached. The matter win receive fur /
ther consideration at today's meeting.
The relief stations issued ratiOns TO I
a large number of applicants yester- /
day, with q notable decrease during
the past twenty-fOur hours. The total (
amount realized for the purpose by
now totals $S,C97. If this
is not sufficient for the purpose addi-
-ionaI sums will be forthcoming.
