cuRAsILlTY Of EEpRosY:

Hr ~ LMr.E~E. 60 EEEMf
New York Medical Journal
Unna OF Hamburg, like many other
conspicuous dermatologists, is OF the
opinion that there is a possibility Of
curing leprosy In his report Rad
before the international Medical Con-
gress at Lisbon he states that he has
been successful in attacking cutane-
GUS leprosy, not macular or anaes-
thetic 1eprosy, and gives his expert
ence. gained from treating sixty Iep-
ers during a period OF twenty two
years. His sufferers were private
patients, more or less well to do all
leading a useful life and wishing most
emphatically to be cured SO that they
could again take up their seyeraLoc DC
equations. This fact is important,
lUnnua thinks, in contrast to what is
observed in the patients OF leper hos.
pitfalls. for exampel, in Norway, who
are very poor people, coming from the
worst kind of surroundings, Stunned
by their neighbors and finding in the
hospital an asylum with all possible
comforts-cleanltness sympathy and
freedom from the are Of poverty
and the daily fight against h~ardships.
Externally, Unna advises hot baths
of natural waters containing sulphur
and sodium or potassium, but espee-
tally his so-called ink bath (Dinten
bad), containing ferrous sulphate and
fannie acid; the washing with carbol-
fc acid or green soap; massage and
pressure upon the skin; the us OF
pyrogollol and resorcin, chrysarobin
and ichthyol. and later the use OF
'Paquelin's cautery. Internally, the
author uses tchthyol, camphor. salicy-
lie acid and chaulmugra oil. which he
calls the specific par excellence for
cutaneous leprosy

Governor Dawson
|HE TAKES A HAND IN plsPoelNG
OF THE LEPER:
Has Him sent to EIkins and Insists
THAT West Virginia Must Take
Care oftHim.

t.L Nh a EE4MHLaL HL
Governor Dawson decided that the
~foolishness concerning the Lopez hnd
gone far enough, and that it was
time to quit sending the unfortu.
nate man from State to State Will; no
object In view except to shove him
on some one else. Governor Daw'
son called up the authorities iii Par
kersburg and gave them a very plain
talk on the subject, He said that tbe
leper belongs to West Virginia, ana
it is the duty Of this State TO t;lke
care of him.
Immediately following this tele
phonic lecture by Governor Dawson
a freight car was sent to the siding
near where the leper was q%uarteredi
and he was taken aboard and with
out further ado he was started TO.
ward Eikins. his former home, and
l1t is presumed that he was safely
landed there.
It Is probable that this will end
the sensational and ~disgraceful SHIP
ments of the sick Syrian from State
to State. 1t is probable that he will
be isolated and made comfortable,
and that he will spend the remainder
Of his wretched life in Elkins.

A Proposed New Iowa Institution

The commonwealth of Iowa, always
foremost in the consideration OF
matters of public welfare, recognizes
the Importance of its health condi-
tons. Very recently it has become
generally believed that pure air and
bright sunshine will to a great extent
prove beneficial in the treatment Of
those afflicted with lung trouble.
Iowa certainly has reason to be
thankful for its situation as regards
the quality Of its climate. On this
account its state bodies have taken in
hand the subject of locating a state
sanitarium, where its people may be
treated scientifically and comparative
ly near their old associations. The
State Board Of Control now has under
consideration the location of this
sanitarium, and the conditions that
are necessary to carry out this purpose
successfully are that the site shall
| contain at least one hundred and sixty
G6O) acres of land at a high altitude
and literally covered with timber,
having the longest slopes to the south
and east to secure the maximum OF
sunshine.
1t is probably that in many counties
of the state there are tracts that will
afford just such advantages as these.
Hence it is believed that the people
generally should know of these pur-
poses and their requirments and sub
NIT to the notice of the board such
locations as may be suitable. The
interest in a subject OF this kind
which has the health of the whole
people under consideration, should be
widespread. The Chicago & North
Western Railway Company will trans
NIT to the Board Of Control informa-
ton concerning locations reached by
its lines in Iowa that may be brought
to its attention through local agents.
Iowa should certainly be able to make
a selection for this state institution
that will place it among the leading
ones of the kind that several states of
our country are now establishing, and
il the people of our community are
interested, they should communicate
such information as they desire made
known, to the agent of the Northwestern
Line for transmittal.
