ng- Last fall we remember
very distinctly Of reading quite
a lengthy article in the Thibo-
daux Sentinel upon the alarming
prevalence Of that l~oathsome
disease-leprosy-in a certain
locality on the lower Lafourche.
Early this year the Secretary of
tie Louisiana State Medical
Association, wrote to all ply
sicians throughout the State,
inquiring as to the existence OF
leprosy i'll their respective local
tiles, and requested them to for
ward to him a history Of all such
cases. In the face Of these cir
cumstances we are indeed surpris-
ed to learn that Vermilion
Parish is the only one making any
reports whatsoever and, most
naturally, are exceedingly DESTROYS
Of asccrtaininGWhat has become
Of the cases in Lafourche and
elsewhere. Have they suddenly
disappeared under the light Of
investigation? Or are the med.
ical fraternity inclined to handle
the matter very delieately fol
fear Of losing a.liitle practice
The questionable existence Of
this disease in the State is an im
portant subject and deserves
careful and thorough investigation
in order to arrive at any definite
conclusion, as to what is the most
proper disposition to make Of its
victims. Will the Thibodaus
Sentinel please rise and explain?

One of them insisted that they should spend
$4,000 in advertising in the newspapers the

agree. they dissolved copartnership at the out

not three hundredy yards from the other. The
one advertised in tho newspapers, the other
didn't. You can easily guess the result. or, if
you can't, other people can. At the end Of the
