LEPROsY IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Result of DIR. ~onatha HutchinsOn's
investigation Among Farmers.

LONDON, March 26.-Dr. Jonathan
Hutchinson, former president OF the Royal
College OF Surgeons, who recently returned
to England after studying the cause of lep-
rosy in South Africa, has arrived at the
conclusion that the primary cause of the
disease is the use, as food, OF badly-cured
salt fish. which is sent inland from Cape
Town and elsewhere on the west and south
coasts and is largely consumed by the farm
ers and in the industrial centers. While
giving this as the chief cause of the diff
fusion of leprosy, DIR. Hutchinson obtained
conclusive evidence that leprosy, in very
exceptional circumstances, may be commu-
nicated from person TO person. He does not
believe that il is either infectious or con-
tagious In the proper sense of these words,
but may be communicated by eating food
contaminated by iepers' hands. DR.. Hutch
inson suggests, as preventive measures,
legislative control of the fish-curing estab-
lishments, the diffusion of information in
regard to the danger of communication.
and the establishment of isolation homes
for lepers, during the stage of the disease
involving risk of contracting ii.
