The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-04-04

whole matter had been precipitated
into the House by the visit of the
members to the office of the Board OF
Health and examining bacilli of lep-
rosy under a microscope. Since then
he had been looking into Wallach's
methods and examining into the cures
he has claimed to have made.
Rawlins scored Wallach's claims,
reading his pamphlets which made a
liar of the faker on the face of them.
Are we, the representatives in the
Territory of Hawaii, to vote for some
thing we know nothing about?" de-
manded Rawlins. ,"Wallach has cir
culated throughout the Territory a
pamphlet in which he has set out his
formulate and remedies, claimed to be
infallible. One of the things he uses
is a female rock. I have been trying
to find out if there is such a thing as
female rock. I want to, know how
he can go a thousand feet under the
sea and get moss from a female rock
as distinguished from a male rock. No
living man can go thousand feet under
the sea and I want him to show me
how he can go that far under the sur
face and pick the female rocks out
from the male rocks. If he can show
me that I might believe that there is
something in him.
''If he can show one patient he has
cured, for I know of cases he has tried
to cure unsuccessfully for two years,
if he can show one case of leprosy
he has cured, then Mr.. Kaleiopu and
I will be satisfied"
He asked that Wallach be asked to
appear before the House tonight and
satisfy the members of his claims.
Sheldon said he was one of those
directly interested in the question and
he and the Speaker had spent much
time celebrating over the situation.
Those opposed to this resolution are
perhaps not interested in this question
as he was, but he agreed with Rawlins
in wanting the man to bring some
proof of ability. Who would be re-
sponsible in the case of the death of
one of the patients of such man?
he asked.
Kahana asked him who would be
responsible if one of the patients died
under treatment of a licensed physi-
clan.
Sheldon pointed out the difference of
responsibility and demanded that this
and explain his claims as to female
rocks and other things. He was not
opposed to the welfare of the people
but he wanted to know what he was
doing. He had been one of the sup
porters of DR.. Rice, but what do we
see today? Rice has deserted the coun-
try and his assistant is now in con-
fnement at the Kalihi receiving sta
ton as a suspect.
Kahana also craved permission to
talk. He said that Wallach was the
first man who ever made clear claim
of being able to cure lepers free
Others had tried but had failed.
Kaleiopu denied this and instanced
the case of Rice. who had spent the
public money and then deserted his
post.
Kahana said that Rice's failure was
due to his own incompetency, but he
had evidence that Wallach could cure,
as his evidence the stories
told by the two Chinese at the settle
ment.
Some one interrupted Kahana with
a note, telling him to sit down and
shut up, advice which he took
This note raised a connection for a
few moments, Hughes demanding that
the messenger tell from whom he had
received it and the Speaker calling
down the unknown writer for attempt
ing to buIldoze the member.
1t was finally decided to ask Wal
ZACH to appear in the House at 1880
o'clock tonight to tell the members
a bout rocks, male and female, and
other interesting points concerning his
remedies and alleged cures.
