DISCOVERED A
CURE FOR LEPROSY

81 assert as fact that my Indian
sores and spots, and even restore to
health after the flesh has lost all feel
ing" said the Indian Herbalist, Mr. J.
Lor Wallach, on July 9, 1906, to Doctor
United States Experiment Station at
the Leper Settlement on the Island of
Moiokai.
Please give me twelve patients ex-
you have on Molokai, and I will cure
them in about six months time" said
DIR. Wallach to DR.. Brinckerhoff.
If necessary, am quite willing to
go to Molokai myself and superintend
the treatment. I do not wish to charge
anything for my services or medicines.
L merely want to prove to your salts
faction that my medicines will do what
L claim they will"
Doctor Brinckerhoff stated that the
hospital at the Settlement for expert
mental work would not be in operation
before about six months hence.
Mr.. Wallach replied that under his
treatment it was not necessary to wait
until the hospital should be ready for
patients, that he could treat them at
their homes or any other place just as
Well
DR.. Brinckerhoff then told Mr. Wal
ZACH that he would give his medicine
& trial if he would agree to the con-
ditions proposed by him. These con-
ditions were-that he would write to
him officially stating what ingredients
the medicines contained; state the
method of trea tment; and give samples
of his medicine, that he, Doctor Br1nck-
erhoff. might send same to Washington
for analysis, and after that he, the
doctor himself, would make the expert
ment
Mr. Y. Mischenko, correspondent in
the Hawaiian Islands for several of the
Russian newspapers published at St.
Petersburg, who was present at the in
terview, asked Doctor Brinckerhoff
whether, after Mr.. Wallach had given
him the ingredients of his medicines.
the secret would be considered as re-
naming in Mr. Wallach's hands, or
not on the medicines being found to
do what Mr.. Wallach represented they
would

/
for the benefit of the medical frater-
nifty and the world at large"
/ Mr. Wallach then stated he desired
! merely to perfect a cure to the salts
/ faction of the medical board at the ex-
pertinent station, but IS he had spent
! years in discovering his remedy, and
! lots of money he could not afford to
! give away the secret in that way. He
4 assured the Doctor there was no dan
ger whatever to be apprehended from
/ The use of the medicine, and reiterated
that he desired no payment for his
] services or medicine while being ex-'
/ perimented with. He only desired a
! fair and impartial trial for the medi-
cine. After the success of the medi-
! cine should have been demonstrated in
/ this way, he said he was perfectly will
! ing to sell the secret of the compost
/ ton to the Government or whoever
else might be willing to buy the same
I at the price he should be willing to
! sell same. But until that time the Sc
cret should. of right, remain with him.
Doctor Brinckerhoff regretted he
could not see his way to change the
conditions offered. And there is no use
losing any time TO talk GA the subject.
Mr.. Vanach who is an American
citizen, would be obliged 10 any one
i who can show him how he can make
the trial he desires of his medicines. In
! March last Mr. Wallach made a similar
proposition to the Board of Health of
the Territory. but for some reason the
proposition did not meet with the APP
/ prevail Of that body
| Mr. Wauach has resided over one
year in Honolulu. but regrets that dur
ing all that time he has not been able
/ to secure a fair and impartial trial for
! his remedies.
