Nothing but plain card stamped with
the monogram Of the hostess, and only
one bill Of fare and that before the host

any one present! That is the New York

costly and nothing more.

A PROFESSIONAL VINDICATl0N AND
A RATIONAL SERVICE.


DR.. Geo. l.. Fitch, of Honolulu,
has contributed an article of nine
teen pages to the Pacific Medical
and Surgical Journal and Western
Lancet (oflicial organ of the Cali
fornia State Medical Society. on
the subject of Leprosy.' The
treatise is in reply to paper on
Hawaiian Leprosy," by DR.. A.
w. Sake, in which =" the physicians
of the Hawaiian Islands, long resi-
dent and of first-class abilities and
attainments, are represented rs
being " nearly unanimous in the
opinion that " "leprosy is Il distinct
and separate entity; X that it
is contagious; that the mode of
contagion is peculiar and unlike that
of any other of the contagious dis
cases."
A general newspaper is not the
place to follow or lead a discussion
of the nature of that one entered
upon by DR.. Fitch. Still, it is in
place here, and no more than an act
of justice toward that gentleman,
to show tell of he has done in this
contribution to medical literature.
Justice toward him, we say, because
few men have been subjected to
more obloquy and injury on account
of independent opinions than DR..
Fitch has suffered for his theories
regarding the curse of leprosy, that
forms such a hideous blotch on
the reputation of these islands.
Moreover, it is an act of justice to
this nation to set forth the grounds
upon which DIR. Fitch holds leprosy
to be not contagious, for an incal-
culable amount of injury has I'M
doubtedly accrued to the islands
from the use that has been made,
for particular and not praiseworthy
purposes, both here and abroad, OF
the worldwide, popular notion-held
as infallible doctrine most strongly
by people least in position to
know anything about the matter
that leprosy is about the most con-
tagious disease to which human flesh
has ever fallen heir.
Regarding the unanimity of medi.
cal opinion here as to the conta'
giousness of the disease, DR.. Fitcl
quotes from the Philadelphia Medi
cal Bulletin a report of cast
of leprosy in that city by one
DR.. Shoemaker, as follows eth
patient was sent from Honolulu t.
Professor Gross, by Drs. Hagen ant
Trousseau, gentlemen who are wei
known on the Sandwich Islands a
expert practitioners of medicine
The letter of introduction and tn
description of the patients condition
stated that they believed the case il
question to be one of leprosy; and
as they regarded it non-contagious
they had advised trip to the State
for change and benefit to hi
general health, and wished him a
the same time to have the bes
medical advice that this country
could give"
The bulk of DR.. Fitch's treatise
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-10-27

consists of citations of cases of the
most intimate and persistent contact
with lepers-in domestic life of
different grades, in lawful and un-
lawful relations, in medical prac-
tioe-all without any result to prove
the disease contagious. There are
several cases of inoculation with the
leprosy virus, including three Homo
lulu doctors. one of them the author,
these by accident, and the case of
keanu the murderer, reprieved from
the gallows to be inoculated with
leprosy in the interest of science
and humanity but it has so far
proved that the disease is not COM
municable even by incubation. Ont
of twenty. six children, born in the
leper settlement of Kalawao, all OF
leprous parents, one or both, and
never out of leprous society in their
lives, only two were lepers. The
case of leper employed as ava
chewer for n certain prince for years
while leper, without comforting the
disease upon those who drank the
liquor manufactured in his mouth,
is attested to under affidavit before
a notary public. Mention is made
in the article of an investigation
conducted few years ago by the
Royal College of Physicians, of
England, at the request of the Sec
retary of State for the Colonies,
into the nature of leprosy. The
Royal College made painstaking
researches in every country where
the disease was known to exist, and
the report of its committee employed
in the work stated that they
were of the opinion that the
weight and value of the evidence
obtained was very greatly in favor
of the non-contagiousness of lep-
rosy" In consequence of this re-
port, the Duke of Newcastle, Colo
NAL Secretary, forthwith issued a
circular to the Governors of the
Colonies, expressing his opinion
THAT any laws affecting the per-
sonal liberty of lepers ought to be
repealed; and that, in the mean
time, if they shall not be repealed,
any action of the executive govern
ment in enforcement of them, which
is merely authorized and not en-
joined by the law, ought to cease. "
1t is unnecessary to restate DR..
Fitch's propositions or recapitulate
his evidence. Suffice it to say he
has made out what appears to be g
very strong position, to say the
least, and we sincerely hope thai
his elaborate and able paper may
give him distinction in the worlC
of medical science, which will prove
satisfactory reward and reparatior
for all the injustice and injury hi
has suffered for his Independent
opinions.

IRalCATlON IN INDIA.

In no other part of the world has
the utilization of sources of water
supply for irrigation been so thor
oughly carried out, under Govern
mental supervision, as in India.
Tue construction of reservoirs for
saving the rainfall, as we'll as the
building of canals for conveying the
water of the rivers upon adjacent
territory, have each received much
attention. In the province of My
sore the number of reservoirs is
estimated at $4,000, while in the
Madras Presidency there are over
10000. One of those in Mysore is
in reality lake, being some forty
miles in circumference. A canal
taken from the Ganges river is,
with its branches, some 800 miles in
length, cost SIS, 100000, and irri-
gates 100000 acres. Other canals
have been constructed which cost
from So, 100000 to Sc, 100000 re-
spectively. Besides the many mill
ion acres thus provided with water,
a much larger area derNes its sup
ply entirely from wells, which are
sunk, and the water utilized at COM
paratively moderate expense. Be-
sides such a showing as is given,
the irrigating systems of California
are dwarfed almost into insignifi-
canoe. The most extensive canals
constructed here have not cost be-
yond a couple of hundred thousand
dollars, while the entire number of
acres irrigated is but tithe in COM
parison with India. When sys-
tematic effort shall have been made
here to preserve and utilize all the
abundant sources of water supply
in California, as is being done in
India, there will not he left a foot
of land uncultivated because of lack
of irrigation facilities. The pro-
gress of the Hindoos in this respect
may well be initiated by the farmers
of this coast. IS. II. Chronicle.

GRANT EXPLAINS.

He Intended No Reflection ON General
McCook or His Division.
NEW YORK, February 5.-General Grant
In an interview, said again that he had been
misunderstood in regard to his recent article
on the battle of Shiloh. General Grant
said: mo reflection was intended on the
personal courage or zeal of General A. Med.
McCook, or the fighting qualities Of his di.
vision. On the contrary, especially stated
that his division marched from twelve miles
east of Savannah, and had been up all night
getting from Savannah to the battlefield,
and as matter of fact they had been in a
heavy storm of rain during the nightmarch.
McCook's division did as good service,
perhaps, as any division in the field on
Monday, the It'll, and on one occasion dur
ing that day the opportunity fell to it to do
service, which received special cOmmenda-
ton of the official reports Of General Sher.
man and two other general officers of the
Army of the Tennessee. The only thing
tina. can see in my article that can be con-
strued as rejecting upon McCOOk, although
it is not SO intended by me, is the statement
that the request not to be sent in pursuit did
not come from the officers and men of the
division. but from the commander. What
McCoOk said was correct His men should
not have been sent in pursuit, and l acted
on his advice, and did not send them. The
article shows this"
