We regaui tins IS a most important
contribution upon the subject OF leurosy
and We recommend the perusal Of Il 70
our suthortieS Il : evident that in
Norway Segregation l. regarded as the
means bv which the disease can be Staulpei
out Il must De remembered that in Nor
way the ho-Tur and disgust az leprusy i
very strong. that no such contact q i
common among HawlIians would b. Der
ulltted By the people OF their own valition.
4 veIy pregnant fact. showing the differ
enCe between the two peoples i this. that
during , years with partial segreSa-
rlul tLe disease IN both countries. the
number 1f sufferers has decreased IN Nor
way Iom 2SiS cases to 1.5S2 or 45 Ter
cent while IN HAWAII during zhe same
period q > years the disease instead of
decreasing has increased As We have fre |
queuIly pointed ont the blame Of this does
not rest on the native people Of Hawaii nei. /
i reSls ul those who have thwartei the 1

people have 70 settle this matter with their
own culscenesS now. but they VII have 1
70 answer for Il before God hereafter.
Inc - F--i.,- Cis7rsi-'c has published /
a most atrocious Set Of ssrinled quotations I
fTom papers here. and pure fsbrioations OF I
sc-caIled interviews: It L evident on the 1
face of Il that the sheet II question has
no desire for the public good Of San Fran
cisco. but i only 6esirous Of throwing
mud az the community. now that Il finds
thai rs onslaught on the treaty has come
70 nsught The information furnished by
Air- knU6sen ! Of q ouieting nature
and shows that with proper carrying out
Of tie Segregation law. the cases Of disease
can b. rapidly decreased As for there Be
M danger non our products that i sin
pie and Unadulterated rubbish Lepers
are nJi employed by any Of our planters
and merchants. they are much too careful
q that: L L only among the Hawaiian
homes that the disease vii be found. and
{ i on behalf q the Hawaiian that the
authorities have TO act We are glad 10
- that the authorities are nov carrying
lut the law strictly. with proper care the
disease can be thoroughly eradicated- and
Fe feel assured that now that effort Is be
ng honestly made
