HEALTH BOARD WILL
HANDLE WALLACE

Continued from Page One)
let them sacrifice themselves TO their
belief, feeling at least, that less harm
will come to them in this manner than
would result from the anxiety and
thought that we are preventing them
from receiving such relief.
Il know that there are medical men
here who have said to me, Let him
go to Molokai' My vote at the board
meeting will be but one. It is up to
the Hawaiians, if they want my vote
TO see that they receive this so-called
cure by leaving it to the judgment of
the Board of Health, and not to any
impossible restrictions placed by an ir-
responsible person. I am willing to
meet them half way and no further"
WHAT WALLACE WANTS.
81 have been told that at the meet
ing of the Board of Health tomorrow
afternoon proposition will be made
to me under which I viii be given per-
mission to 60 to the settlement at Ka-
Iaupapa and demonstrate the value Of
my remedy for leprosy," stated j. Lor
Wallach last night. q do not know
exactly what proposition the Board of
Health are prepared to make, but be-
fore the meeting of the Board today
with the members Of the Legislature
that viii be there l want to state clear
ly what conditions I will expect. I
want to have these conditions such
that 1 will be given a free hand in the
treatment of the cases I am to have,
such that / viii receive the entire and
full credit for the cures I expect to
make and such that any possible failure
on my part can not be thrown back up
on and blamed upon the Board OF
Health. l want to protect myself and
l want it to be so that the Board of
Health will be protected.
q am prepared now, as 1 was at the
time it was made, to accept the offer
made by Mr.. Pinkham shortly after
the Legislature adjourned. That prop
osition was that number of lepers
were to be brought from Molokai to
the Kalihi station and placed absolute
ly under my charge, me to be response
bic for them III all ways, including the
ventilation and sanitation of their
quarters, the preparation of their food
and the administering of their medl-
cine. All the supplies needed are TO be
ordered in writing by me and deliver
ed TO me in the original packages All
the medicines to be ordered and pre-
pared by me. l to give at the end of
every day written report stating that
| have no cause of grievance or to state
what grievance I may have. The pa
tients are to be under my charge for
six months, at the end of which time
agree to cure them Of their disease.
''In this offer there is absolutely no
chance for any mistake as to whether
I am to be credited for the cure Of
the patient or blamed for any failure
TO cure. If the agreement is carried
out in good faith there will also be no !
of placing any blame on the
Board of Health if I fail TO cure as
! have claimed. have to protect my
self and I think that the members Of /
the Board of Health want to protect /
themselves, and I am ready TO take up
Mr.. Pinkham g offer.
81 do not consider that under the
circumstances, in view of the way that
[ have been treated by some of the
physicians Of this city and by the Board
IF Health. that I would be justified
n telling TO anyone what my remedy
8 and I do not want any such con-
lition made because I could not ac-
,ept IT. That secret is mine and 1t Is
about all that I have. I can not risk
I with anyone and I viii not. +,
''Neither do I wish TO go to the set
lement in demonstrating my first cures.
n the first place l. fear that in 60
