of considerable sum of money being
provided, to be given to any one who
could cure case of leprosy He said
his services would be worth $Iso per
month, and that in three months he
hoped to see a visible improvement,
and thatin6 months his streatmentwould
be success or a failure. There would be
no further outlay beyond the cost of

Hon. member Dickey, from Maka-
wac, supported the President of the
Board of Health in this matter. No
more important measure could come
before the House than that of the care
of the health of the people. The idea
of having number of physicians ex-
anime Mr. Reeve as to his qualifica-
tions was good one
His Excellency the President of the
Board of Health fully agreed with
those who thought well Of the water
treatment. Such treatment should be
carried on by thoroughly competent
persons. Baths are now administered
at the Branch Hospital by fully com
petent persons who, with thermometer
in hand, watch the temperature of the
water and the patient.
Hon, member Dole, from Lihue,
offered as an amendment to the resolu-
ton, that Mr.. Reeve be examined as
regarded his medical education, and if
he was not found competent that
nothing more be done by the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health in the
matter Mr.. Dole was of the opinion
that it required the highest medical
knowledge to treat diseases with water.
He had great faith in applications of
hot and cold water, but by ignorant
practitioners many patient had
either chilled to death or boiled to
death.
Hon. Noble Bush spoke in favor of
the resolution, and Hon. member
Keau, from Honolulu, opposed it.

having all means tried for the suppress
sion of leprosy whether those employed

previous question. The resolution as
amended was then adopted.
