EXTENT OF LEPROSY IN CANADA

Montreal. April II (special).-A government pub
licaton gives Information to the to which
leprosy prevails in Canada. The lazaretto at
Lacadic. N. b.. was established in 1874. and since
then It has never lacked for inmates. At present
they number twenty-one. The ages vary from
eleven TO sixty-two years. The inmates though
treated with all possible kindness. are shut from
the outside world with the exception of occasional
visits from relatives under carefully devised re-
strietions. They mostly iterates. and are fur
nished with no employment, but pass the time In
indoor games and outdoor walks in suitable
weather.
Most Of the inmates come from the seafaring
populations of the maritime provinces. but within
the last two three years three cases were found
among the Icelandic population Of Winnipeg. Two
OF these were married women. with children. but
they were compelled to part from them and make
their home at the lazaretto. where they will re-
main until death.
