ANOTHER L[PROSY
CURE is OFFERED

The Board OF Heath receives Dy al
most every mail, letters and circulars
from people who claim that they have
a sure cure for leprosy and want the
board to buy it of them. One of the
most recent is naive compound OF ig
norance and mystery. While not par
ticularly ingenious in the method of
mystery, it is probable that it will APP
peal to many of the credulous. 1t
sounds like the man who invented it
was probably a member of the Aneke
Jams. Heirs Association, and believes
that the property left in New Amster'
dam two hundred years ago by Aneke
JAMS is still being held by some myster-
ious government bureau awaiting the
Aneke JAMS heirs. The medicine now
offered to the Board of Health is said
to be the discovery of an unnamed
: scientist who lived in the fifteenth cen
tury and wrote a book about it which
was lost and was unexpectedly found
lately. The statement that European
government has known about this book
and made search for it, is thrown in to
give an air of verisimilitude to the mat
ter.
The following is the letter received
by the board with the original spelling,
capitalization and punctuation preserv-
Q ed. AS this cure is offered free the
t board decided to let the people who
have it send it here for trial if anyone
t wants to try it. This is the letter:

and anything pertaining to its cure
and the relief of its poor sufferers.
We say leprosy is not incurable, and
n have a remedy for its absolute cure
: and we have already proved it by ex
U periments in the last three years, SC
much so that A European Government
with possessions in the Tropic Zone
where the disease exists, has the acqui
m sition Of our remedy under considera
,r ton, and we can show proofs to this
t. effect. Let us explain why this Euro

on medical science, diseases and thei
ne cures, and he also went into very de

III prescription of remedy for it's abso
IA lutte cure. This book, the only one o
IN its Kind in existence, has during gener
/. atoms been in the possession of peop
a. who have not been at all aware of tn

III valuable, and the remedies therein con
90 tanned priceless, but we never imagine,
IN that European Governments had beer

y. now be matter of only short duration
hi when we expect to negotiate with thi
Ia government.
% But we want to bring this before tn
aft whole world and to sources where
pe will do the most good, and to let thos
Mt people know that have charge of thes
e5 poor unfortunates, and who know o
is the terrible ravages of this dreadful
disease.

10. stadium of leprosy, and who are liz
In. ing proofs of the wonderful efficienc
of of this remedy, and we can convinc
IN. you by sworn statements that ever
