A CASE OF LEPRosY IN BALTIM oRE.-There
is patient at present in the City Hospital,
Baltimore, who is undoubtedly suffering from
etephdntiGsis gTgcorHm, or true leprosy. His
name is Abraham Brown, and he is a native
of New York city, As years of age, brick
layer. He is widower with four children,
and after the death of his wife went to Cuba
and South America, in one of which countries
it is supposed he contracted the disease.
About two years ago, while he was in Balti-
more, the disease first showed itself, the
symptoms being a numbness of the muscles
of the face, and numerous tubercles appear
ing over the body. On the 4th of March last
he went into the City Hospital, and the ply
sicians, after examination, decided it o case
of genuine leprosy. The disease has attacked
the neck and hands and feet, and these por-
tions of the body are scaly and shrivelled,
being of yellow and faded parchment. Since
his admission to the hospital his tongue has
become lacerated. 1t is difficult for him to
swallow food, the tubercles on his body have
become hard, and the flesh on the affected
parts is gradually sloughing off. The atten-
dant physicians say there is no hope Of saw
ing his life.
