Mr.. Lowell. he had sent for him and told
him that if he could cure the disease, he
would give him a hundred dollars To as
slst him in preparing his remedies. The
speaker had seen two women whom Mr..
Lowell claimed to have cured, but the
women said they had not been cured. 4
swelling on the wrist of one had been
somewhat reduced, that was all He
favored reference 10 the Sanitary Com
mittee.
Minister Parker said in regard 10 Mr.
lowell the House had better he careful
as Mr.. Lowell! was not a doctor and ii
THIS House took this action, it would be
practically granting a license to him. He
ought TO get his license i'm the regular
way.
hep. Nawahi-As sir. L we'll Is a new
man, We ought TO give him tIi,l, What
Is the use OF sending men who don't
know anything about leprosy 10 Molokai.
The man declared before he went that he
can't cure leprosy. 1t is better for US to
let them die, rather than send men ignor-
ant of medicine.
Minister Parker-That doctor was sent
up there TO attend TO other diseases, net
leprosy.
Rep. Nawahi-Those men have been
segregated because We know that
leprosy is contagious. Now, / observe
that we'll people are allowed up there,
and after a while come back and mingle
with us. 1t was once claimed that heart
disease was incurable. We may not be
able TO cure to-day or tomorrow, but we
may be able at some future date. Over
$500, 900 are intended to be appropriated
for the support OF the leperS. We are
having a commercial crisis just now.
Therefore, move the previous question.
Noble Neumsnn-The member from
Lahaina is mistaken. He says that this
is question that only affects the Ha-
waiian members. | believe that is
mistake. l claim that there is not q
single member of this House who does
not take lively interest in the ameliora-
ton of the affections of the people on
Molokai. l think the remarks of Noble
Pua condemning the Board OF Health are
uncalled for. We must give credit to the
verdict of the members of the med cal
profession But | will not submit TO
the verdict of the learned faculty declar-
ing that leprosy is incurable. One of
your learned physicians says that leprosy
is iEcurab e. II suspect is cured,
he will say that it was not
leprosy. Two learned doctors in Lon
don are divided on the subject,
Although there may be no cure for lep-
rosy, let us give them everything that
would alleviate their feelings. l agree,
therefore, with the member from Cen
trail Hilo. l am not aware whether the
Board of Health has refused it. Ii they
had it is for us to step in and force them
to accept the services of this gentleman.

menting understand is trifling; but If
