70 recovery. by the Planter the the news comes
that Mrs. Plate and children, Mr.. Browns baby,
and Others are all doing well. Capt. Hebron de
serves the highest praise for his prOmptitudc in
taking Dr. TrOusseau to Maui.
Dr. Troasseau has resigned all government ap-
pointments His resignation was sent 20 the Pre-
mier last evening The inaCton Of the Board Of
Health in the matter Of leprOsy has been the cause
Of the doctors resignation. The loss Of the ser

this illegal and unconstitutional Board Of Health
rules, leprosy Is menacing our hom65 and our dear
ones, and that the President Of the Board of
Health, who Is also Premier OF the Kingdom, has
played with the disease and used it a stalking
horse 10 win a eprUus vote or two for his more
leprous administration. Faugh!
