LEPROSY CURED.
Remarkable Report to Re Made on
Treatment Of Disease.

New Orleans, June ga remark
able medical report touching on the
curing of leprosy will be presented by
the Louisiana Assembly probably
this week by the Ieper Home of the
State of Louisiana. In his report
appear the words:
Discharged cured-one."
Practically well and kept for OBJ
servation-five."
Briefly explained, the meaning Of
these figures is that out of sixty-one
lepers at the Louisiana institution In
the last two years, six have been
practically cured. The figures are
from the biennial report of the leper
home, where for over fifteen yeors
this State has provided place for
lepers to receive the comforts and
the skilled medical care which are
not as a rule within reach OF such
sufferers.
A fact of significance Is that this
report is not submitted to the As
sembly as indicating that any specific
cure for leprosy has been discovered.
1t is simply statement of the results
which have been obtained from Civ
ing lepers the same sanitary sur
roundings that the average person
enjoys aud an equal opportunity to
receive first-class medical treatment.

while Chauvenet and Durand bent
tight on their brides, and listened,
waiting for Zmai. They heard a sud-
den rush Of steps, the impact Of his
giant body as he flung himself upon
the shrinking horse, and then a cry OF
alarm and rage. Chauvenet slipped
down and ran forward with the quick,
soft glide Of cat and caught the

horseman struggled in Zmai's great
arms. and his beast plunged wildly.
No words passed. The rider had kick
