EXPERT SAYS HE
DOES NOT FEAR 1T
TubsrcuIous People Are Most
Subject to the Dread
Disease.

ROCHESTER IN. ". October Ia
DR.. III. B. Carleton of Sabattin, near
Ambalia City, India, one of the most
widely known experts in the treat
ment of leprosy in the Indian Empire,
is the guest of Frank w. Foote, accom-
panied by Mrs. Carleton and two chill
dren.
DR.. Carleton has been in India two
years before the Sepoy mutiny, his par
ents having gone to that country as
missionaries from Barrie. VT, in 1854.
When a young man, he was sent to
the United States, where he studied
medicine. He returned to India in
1881, and took up work among the lep-
ers of India. He now has an asylum
containing 100 lepers at Sabattin. In
answer to questions, DR.. Carleton said:
"The last census shows that there
are about 100000 lepers in India. In
the district where live there are about
40 to each 1000 inhabitants. In some
Of the other districts, the proportion Is
much smaller.
Il now have about 100 patients, men
and women, and a few children, in my
compound. We have three Europeans
now, one having died since l have been
in America He was a colleague OF
Mr.. Foote, while he was in India ter
years ago. He was at the asylum about
four years."
What is the average life of lepers
after they contract the disease?"
AVERAGE LIFE OF THE LEPER.
"It differs with the kind of leprosy
Of which there are two varieties. IL
one variety the disease attacks the
arms and legs. The hands and arms
and also the feet and portions of the
legs, have absolutely no feeling. Suf-
ferers from this kind often live from
80 to 40 years. The other variety at.
tacks the lungs. In these cases tht
lease Of life is not usually over II
years"
What is the cause of leprosy?"

germ, but as yet have not been able tt
cultivate it. Neither have we found
a germicide. The natives all go bare

the disease is contracted in the same
manner as the bubonic plague, through
the soles of the feet Of this 1 have
great doubt, as I have had charge o.

am at home, removing pieces of bone
and performing other necessary oper-
ations. To be sure, of late years since

precautions, such as washing my hands

Certainly. Three Of my children
were born in the compound, not JOG
