an Afflicted.
A colored man applied yesterday for adj
mission to the City and County Hospital,
and as bis condition, while not particularly
alarming, was still such that he might posi-
bly, be suffering from leprosy, he was sent to
Dr.. LIE TourneuX of the Board of Health for
examination. On examination no symp-
toms of leprosy were found, his condition
being strictly attributable to another dis
ease.
An application from the Health Officer of
Sacramento was also received during the
day at the Health Office stating that he de-
sired to send a white lcper down to this
city to be cared for. Under instructions
from DR.. LIE Tourneux the request was re-

DR.. Ee Tourneux states that he intends
to put stop to the practice of outside cities
sending their lepers here and then leaving
all their support and care entirely to the OIL
