WALLACH'S CLAIM.
The main exhibit which accompanied
the petition is the following, being
Wallach's sworn statement of what he.
can and cannot do. His statement is:
THE so-called leprosy in the Hawaii
ian Islands is not one-third as bad as
that affecting the natives of India and
Asia. I have lived among the real
lepers in those countries and have
treated some very bad cases, and
effected a number of cures. Myself,
my sister and two brothers have lived
among the sick people in those coun-l
tries and we were not at all affectedI
with the disease. I say right here the
disease called leprosy IN Hawaii, isl
positively nothing of the kind. 1t is!
officially declared that this so-called!
leprosy is incurable; say that it can
be cured by my treatment. 1t is piti-I
full to see SO many unfortunate men.
women and small children exiled to al
living grave on the Island of Molokai,
because they were affected with moth,
ing else but an liberated sore, which
can be cured and healed under my
treatment. To prove the truth of my
statement, I am DESTROYS and willing
to cure every child, or any other per-
son affected with the so-called leprosy,
and who have been pronounced and
condemned by the Hawaiian Board of
Health, under oath, as lepers; whetherl
such persons are here in Honolulu or
at the Leper Settlement on the Island
of Molokai. l will rot, however, treat
with suspects from the Kalihi station.
can positively state here, that theI
worst case of so-called leprosy to cure,
is that which is called by MEDICAL
Science a mixed case, that is, a COM
bination of anaesthetic and tubercuiar
leprosy. The so-called anaesthetic lep-I
rosy, is easily cured. The tuberculari
form of the disease can also be cured
within the space of six months.
Il can cure the following cases:
81. Any white spot OF spots on the
body of any person, with no feeling at
all, and which the Hawaiian Board of
Health have declared and pronounced
under oath, as hopeless, as far as al
cure is concerned.
''2. any red spot or spots with no
feeling, and which the Board of Health
have pronounced and declared, under,
oath, as hopeless.
80. Any swelling or elongation of the
ear, where the lobe hangs loosely down
to a length of one and one-half to six;
inches.
Il. If the feeling has been lost for
many years in the feet or flesh of any,
part of the body. cases of this kind
can be cured and feeling restored to,
the affected part or parts.
IS. If the fingers are bent and feel-i
ing lost or gone, such fingers can be
restored to their normal condition.
&c. Any open or liberated sore un-
der the sole of the foot which has
