AFFLICTED Is Recommended,

Washington March 29.-Gangrosa, a
tropical disease, more repulsive than
leprosy, has become so prevalent upon
the island of Guam that Lieutenant Nc,
Nance, United States, acting governor
Of the island, has recommended the
establishment of hospital for the iso,
lation of the disease which is believed
to be highly contagious.
Admiral Rixey, the surgeon general
of the navy, has approved the recQm-
mendation, and it is likely a $4,000 hos
pital for eases of the new disease will
be erected Immediately near the leper
hospital on the island
Lieutenant McNamee says the dis
ease will be erected Immediately near
the leper hospital on the island,
Lieutenant McNamee says the dis
ease destroys the upper part of the
face by slow liberation and the dis
ease is more horrible to the victim as
we'll as his companions than is leprosy.
AS four hundred cases have been dis
Covered, Lieutenant McNamee says it's
isolation IS imperative.
Naval surgeons have investigated
the disease in parts of South America
and the West Indies, and their reports
indicate that there can be little doubt
that it is a distinct malady and one
which does not yield to the treatment
given tuberculosis, leprosy and other
diseases common in tropical countries
Cases of gangrosa have been treated
in New York which are believed to
have come from Brazil and Panama.
