In our obituary notices will be found recorded the death of the second daughter of Mr George Giles, of Cambridge West, which occurred very suddenly at Dunedin, where deceased was staying with her relatives. The case is such a peculiar one that it deserves special mention, and especially as it appears to have puzzled the medical profession. Miss Daisy Giles was well-known and respected in Cambridge, where she had been reared, and about two and a-half years ago she went to visit her relatives in Dunedin, which visit resulted in her starting business on her own account in that city. On Monday, 30th May, Miss Giles attended a Christian Endeavour meeting, after which she complained of a pain across the eyes and forehead, and she thought she was going to have influenza. Feeling better on the Tuesday she attended to her business; but came home complaining of pains, and a doctor was called in. He sounded her and pronounced her thoroughly sound, stating she might have a slight touch of inflammation but there was no need for any anxiety. About 11 p.m. on Friday night deceased called to her Aunt that she had great difficulty in breathing and felt she would faint. Assistance was promptly rendered; but deceased vomited some blood and passed away immediately after. It was a great shock to her relatives and also to the doctor, who said the cause of death was the bursting of an abscess in the stomach, and that Miss Giles must have been suffering from an ulcerated stomach. Deceased's father and her brother, the latter of whom it will be remembered was lately presented with the Royal Society's medal for saving life at Rotorua, journeyed to Dunedin immediately on receipt of the sad news, and were in time to attend the funeral. -Waikato Argus, 18/6/1898.
In Memoriam.
