WALLACH
THE FAKER
He Again Takes Up
Time of Hawaiian
Representatives.

HOUSE ITHIRTY-FTFTH DAY.
Yesterday the House was again treat
ed TO a discussion of the claims OF
Doctor J.. Lor. WaIlaeh as a mar
capable of curing leprosv, the dreat
disease towards a cure for which tbs
abfesf scientists of the world Is medica
profession have been working unsuecess
fully for centuries. Probably IN ne
other Legislative body IN the world
would the claims of such a patent
faker be considered for a second, and
to the credit of the Hawaiian Legisla,
ture II can be said that only two OF
three of the members can be found to
champion the charlatan, but these two
or three are insistent, persistent and
tireless in their advocacy.
The visit to the Molokai settlement
on Sunday and the claims advanced
there by some of the sufferers, grasping
at a straw, that they felt assured of
relief from the ministrations of Wal
laeh gave these advocates another
chance to urge his claim for an oppor-
tunity to practice upon some leper
patients. The main argument advanced
was that at least no harm could be
done by granting his request, the mem
bers being possibly unaware of the
fact that WaIlaeh announced when first
launching out on his pretended mission
that he was anxious to get official and
press notice here in order that he
might use the advertising obtained here
TO help him elsewhere.
The matter viii be up again during
the week, when it is expected that
analyses of his remedies viii be read
and his claims as the owner of valuable
secret remedies exploded.
