apprehension of contracting the disease.
Nor did We wear long, gauntleted gloves
and keep apart from the lepers On the
contrary, we mingled freely with them.
and before we left knew scores of them
by sight and name. The precautions of
simple cleanliness seem to be all that is
necessary. On returning TO their own

an acquaintance asked him how he man
