ly wounded that he is now at the plan
tation hospital in a precarious condi-
ton. The woman was injured in the
wrist. IF possible, the husband viii be
brought before District Magistrate

ANTITOXIN USED.
A sporadic case of diphtheria is de-
veloped now and then in different parts
of Central Maui other than at Wal
lul<u, where the present series of cases
originated
A strange circumstance attending
this sickness is that only one of fam
lily, as a rule, is afflicted and when
anti-toxin is administered the suffering
is not severe, the patient generally not
being confined to his bed though kept
at home under quarantine regulations.
BY the way this anti-toxin is rather
expensive medicine at seven dollars or
more dose.
