DR.. EHLERs STATEMENT.

He is q leper."
Il spent about half an hour with
Early said Dr. Ehlers, but il did
not take me FIVE minutes to make up
my mind
1T is undoubtedly lsprosy, stil in
its primary stage, still durable. in a
sense, but viruient and highly con-
tagious. I took a culture. OF course,
and when I get where I have adequate
laboratory facilities I shall make an
analysis and a microscopicaI examina-
tion, but I am absolutely certain OF
the results I shall obtain.
In Norway IL often happens that
lepers who have contracted the dis
ease before they are twenty live TO
the age Of ninety. BY proper baths
and bandages. Early may live 70 a ripe
old ago; indeed. he may die OF some
entirely different disease. but he has
leprosy. and should be isolated per-
manently.
The conditions under which he IS
at present isolated should be main
tsined without relaxation. He should
be permitted 10 come in contact with
no one. The advance Of the disease
could be checked and a material I'M
provement IN Early's condition effect
ed Il he could be prevailed upon TO
take the medicine. which the health
department provides. Unfortunately.
since last December he has refused TO
believe he has leprosy. and he has re-
fused all medicines or other treat
ment
I did not tell Early, but I told his
wife. She had not believed her hus-
band had the disease.
In Scandinavian countries, where
leprosy Is prevalent, the laws provide
that the children OF lepers be removed
from their homes and cared for BY
the state. This IS a very necessary
precaUtion.

mustache and with some dark color
ing matter spread over his face to dis
figure him. 1t is thought that he has
been sneaking about the house at
night and by looking through the
windows knew where the money was
kept.
A man claiming to. be land agent
has been in the neighborhood but
whether or not he has anything to Go
with the case is not kn oW.

of the people of Sauk county and some
thing should be done to bring the
| offenders to justice.
