Leprosy at the Marquesas Islands.

n E[cs4A tEGAE4 HUN AZ I~@~~
The terrible disease known as leprusy Is very
prevalent on the Marqucsas- There Is not an
island on the group that has not 4 large number
of victims. They 60 about at large when the
stage Of the disease Is not too far advanced
sleeping, eating and drinking with the na-
tives free from the disease Many loathsome
cases are to be seen. All efforts 10 have the
lepers removed 20 an island by themselves have
proved futile. The people believe It to be incura-
bic and contagious. They do not know how it
came to the islands. but the disease has been
there a long time. Natives look upon it with q
callousness absolutely s%toical, but they are not
unkind to the lepers. Those afflicted are neither
Stunned nor outlawed. "If they are lepers,
they are human beings and not hogs" is q
constant saying among the islanders. But the
shocking disease calls for the attention OF the
French Government. The lepers should be
removed to an island By themselves, as is the
case in the Saudwlch Islands. a few rare cases
Of elephantiasis are 10 be seen on the Marquesas.
This disease, scarcely less shocking than leprosy,
is very prevalent in the neighborIng Society
Islands, where leprosy is unknown, although a
few cases have recently been discovered IN the
Chinese colony at Papeete. Previous TO the
arrival of the Chinese, leprosy was unheard Of
at Tahiti or any Of the other islands of the Socie-
ty group.
