the woman awaits her future. 1t may
be that 1t was her mission in life to
rouse the conscience of one of the most
civilized communities of the world to
the study of this oldest and most
dreaded disease and to focus attention
on the problem ofshow to rid the world
of leprosy.
The problem in Massachusetts, was
not a grave one. Leprosy is neither
epidemic nor endemic in New Eng
land. Five lepers were discovered
within a few months of each other
within the State, two Chinese and three
Portuguese, one of whom, as has been
stated, was woman. There had been
no spread of contagion, and all the
cases were imported. Previous to this
time there had been but three cases in
the history of the State, these o1-
curing some thirty years ago. All of
these were imported cases, one having
come from Cuba, another being that of
negro who came from the South, and
the third Salem man who spent some
years of his life in the Sandwich
Islands. The negro escaped and
absconded and the two other died after
being cared for under isolation.
But leprosy Is a grave problem for
the United States. There are within
the boundaries of this country about
three hundred known cases. and we
have added lepers to the citizenship by
the tens OF thousands with the annexa-
tion Of the PHILIPPINES. Hawaii and Por-
TO Rico. Besides that, we are constant
ly importing cases. as the disease is so
obscure and of such long incubation
that no immigration laws can be made

also the fact that military expeditions

an intellectual interest If not heart
burning consideration.
The Massachusetts experiment in buy
ing the island of Penikese for a lepro-
sarium is directly in line with the rec
ommendation of the report of the Unit
ed States Commission Of Medical Sur
geons of the Marine Hospital Service,
approved by the surgeon general and
transmitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury in 1902. This commission, af-
ter very thorough investigation COW
ering a period of three years, found
sufficient evidence OF endemicity and To-
cal spread of the disease to justify the
recommendation of two national lepro-
saria for the care and treatment under
the supervision of the Federal Govern
ment of 1epers belonging to this coun-
try. The reason for two such institu-
tions is found in the fact that many
lepers come from Scandinavia, and a
climate that would be salubrious for
such cases would not be proper for the
treatment of those haiiing from tropi-
cal climates.

upon the visiting board members. 1t
seemed almost the natural thing to
do to shake her by the hand as the
visitors stood upon the threshold of
her little cottage at Penikese. But it
was noticeable that no one did.
Mrs. Barros lived with her husband,
Napoleon Barros, at Wareham, Mass.
in the Portuguese colony. They had
two children when Mrs. Barros was
taken with what was surpassed to be
rheumatism, and as they were poor she
was removed TO a hospital There her
case was diagnosed as incipient lep-
rosy. 1t was learned that her father
had died of the disease. She was re-
turned to her home and isolated, with
her husband as her caretaker, since
no one else could be found willing to
nurse her. Her husband was devoted
TO her, and DR.. Proctor of the State
Board OF Charity visited her every
week. Soon the stork again hovered
over the Barros home, and thus another
reason for a leper hospital forced itself
upon the attention of the State. A third
child was born to Mrs. Barros after
her removal TO Penikese. The child
was taken to Boston and placed in the
care of the Poor Department along with
her other children. Leprosy is not
hereditary, and all the children are
healthy.
