world. DR.. Hyde stands high as an au-
thority on skin diseases, and his decIar-
alton that leprosy is non-contagious
will, l think, be generally accepted by
scientists. If the disease is not conta-
gious the United States Government
will be saved many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually in caring for
| leprous persons. They will not have to
be quarantined so closely, and If not
quarantined they can better enjoy life
and make a fight against the disease"
"Leprosy is no longer an academic
problem" said DR.. Hyde in opening his
lecture at the University of Chicago
last night. The disease is now so ex-
cessively spread in the colonies of the
United States that 1t has become a
practical problem for physicians to
study. 1t has been a popular belief for
many centuries that leprosy is a con-
tagious disease.
The English-speaklng races came by
this belief by reading the Bible. The
Bible tells how the lepers on the streets
Of the cities in the Holy Land would
cry unclean' when any one came near
them, From this people have conclud-
ed the disease was contagious. But the
lepers cried 'unclean' because Of re-
lglous custom and not because the dis
ease was contagious. There was a rule
of the Jewish churches compelling per-
sons who had been 'deflled' by the touch
of leper to pay fine to the priest be-
fore entering the church. On this ac-
count the people made the lepers give
warning. There are many instances
where lepers of the Bible came in con-
tact with people who did not afterward
contract the disease. Leprosy is a filth
disease, the active agent of which is a
| bacillus, but this bacillus has never
been transmitted to a healthy person.
AS fast as people learn how to be clean
leprosy disappears.
"Leprosy has also been held to be in
durable for many centuries. But lepro-
sy is not an incurable disease. I believe
! that a majority of cases Of leprosy may
be cured with the right kind OF treat
ment."
In proof Of his statement the profess
sor here introduced the Maori. Last
year at this time" said DR.. Hyde, this
man was exposed to the weather when
the thermometer registered Is degrees
| blow zero. He was not conscious of
cold. How he is sensitive to changes
of temperature, the red patches Of the
disease have greatly diminished in size
and color, and he has gained ten pounds
in weight"
DR.. Hyde said also that leprosy was
not hereditary, and told Of case I'M
der hi observation where husband and
wife, one with leprosy, lived together
without the other contracting the dis
ease.
