heen unable to find remedy. ] be.
lieve that our Creator has sent to us
? man that can cure lepers. His name
IL Wallach and he sits here on the
stand. ask you to endorse the reso.
luton that will be presented to the
Board, am in favor Of giving him
4 trial"
Believes In Trial
II am glad to stand before you TO.
| hight and say something about the
eper question:" said Supervisor Frank
Harvey. THE leper question Is a sad
thing to MS and no one can deny Il.
believe in making trial on every
thing. II Is the safest way to find
out what Is and what is not so. The
story of little child aged three years,
which was afflicted with leprosy Is q
sad one. He was taken away from his
mother to the settlement The par.
ents were powerless as the law was
above them. You can imagine right
there what sad day II was to them.
Personally | have not seen anyone
cured of leprOsy. but have heard that
Wallach can cure lepers. Such being
the case, we must give him a trial in
order to find out whether he is a faker
or not. The Board of Health has abso.
lutte power on this leper question, but
The people who created this Board can
abolish that powe' II they only stand
united. The Bible teaches us to love
our nelghbors, and that Is what we are
trying to do to those poor unfortunates
at the settlement. cPololei!' yelled
the audience.) ! am In favor of giving
Wallach a trial with hope of SEEING
him cure the lepeIs. The same good
book teaches us Knock and II shall be
opened unto YOU Today we ar,
knocking at the door of the Board OF
Health to give us trial with this mar
Wallach, but as yet no reply has been
received. Let us endorse the resolu
ton"
Poepoe Is Radical
This Is the most important ques
ton that we are confronted with to
day" said J. NJ. Poepoe.
This question does not affect The
government, but It affects the public
health. | am sorry to say that tn,
resolution was not read first. We are
talking on without acquainting you
with the conditions and facts contain
ed In II. The Legislature with all IT,
power was turned down by the Board
1t was supreme power but was liz
rored by the same Board. which Still
exists today. What we intend to n
with the resolution is to present II
10 the Board with u request that Wal
ZACH be permitted to cure lepers.
have repeatedly told you from this
stand that the laws which govern lep
ers should be repealed and everybody
he permitted to cure the afflicted
Pick out good men for the next I.egis
!ature so that good and less bother
some leprosy laws can be passed
From the days of the monarchy dow
to the present time | never knew o
such an enthusiastic meeting as this
The Board Of Health was never befor,
requested to permit an unlicensed MAJ
TO cure lepers. We want Wallach I,
try his medicine on the lepers. The
Board has the power to turn us dowf
and its decision In the deliberation Of
the leper question is final and unshake
able. have been with Dr. Thompson
at Kohala for three years and during
that time he told me that the now so
called leprosy is nothing but u blood
poison. | know that J. Lor Wallacl
can cure this so-called leprosy, ant
that is why | want him permitted t
treat the lepers at the settlement. Tn,
Board can do almost anything 1t want,
with people, who, through some acct
dent, might be only blood.poisoned. I
through some accident you happen I,
have crippled hands and crooked
mouths, you are liable to be pulled II
and sent away to Molokai In orde
TO avoid this trouble, urge upon yol
TO send good fearless and reliable mel
to the Legislature whose determine
ton is to do away with these restric
tons. United we stand, divided W.
fall Is an old saying. 1t is proper tRs
we live up to 1t at this time.
Wallach Like Columbus
John II. Wise made a short talk. IL,
said: Ladies and Gentlemen. Alo
La. You will kindly come with m,
and recall the history of Columbus, tn,
great discoverer of the new world
When he first said that the eartl
was round. the scientists of the ag,
laughed and made fun Of him. They
called him crazy. The king of Italy Il
, whom he made his wants known, fur
n!shed him sailing vessel and on hel
he started out to discover the new
world Everyone at that time believed
that the earth was fiat Columbus sci
sail on his vessel and of course fol
many days no land was sighted. Tn,
crew. thiring Of the voyage, mutlnied
but Columbus assured them that laEt
would soon be in sight. They sailed
on and on and finally reached Amer.
