Dr. Ch. Weizmann, Mrs. Weizmann, Dr. Alexander Goldstein, and a number of other guests, 30 people in all, were taken ill with ptomaine poisoning while attending a banquet held here last night on behalf of the South African Keren Hayesod campaign.
Dr. Weizmann and Dr. Goldstein are already convalescent, and Mrs. Weizmann, though still confined to her bed, is recovering.
Dr. Weizmann has told the J.T.A. representative that the illness occurred as a result of food eaten at the banquet.
A sum of £3,250 was raised at the banquet for the Keren Hayesod.
