is NOT LEPROSY
The discovery of Mexican woman in this
city with disease that resembled leprosy SO
closely that very few physicians, even
among the experts, can tell the difference,
caused a feeling of curiosity, especially
among the medical fraternity, more than
any fear of danger to the health of the city.
To set at rest, if possible, all doubts, the
county health officer, DR.. Rene, sent to DIR.
Granville MacGowan of Los Angeles, to
come as an expert and make careful ex-
animation of the case. DIR. MacGowan has
had all the lepers of Los Angeles county
under his charge for more than ten years,
has made study of lepers in Norway, has
examined every case in San Francisco an
nually, and seen large numbers of cases in
China and Japan. This specialist came
here yesterday, and says that while this is
not case of leprosy, it so closely sirnu-
lates it that any one, professional or lay
man, without practical experience, would be
criminally negligent to the public in pass
ing it by without the most careful investiga-
ton, as there are many points in favor OF
the diagnosis of leprosy. DR.. MacGowan
names it multiple neuritis, associated with
progressive muscular atrophy, and says it is
the only case of the kind he has seen in
America.
