NINE LEPERS ON VIEW
PHYSICIANS Discuss Treatment

Doubtful Third.

Nine leperS. one q woman, vera eh
amined by a number Of physicians and lay
men last night at the Academy Of Design.
where nearly two hundred medical men
had assembled to discuss the treatment OF
the dread disease.
Perfect TYPES of the two great diVlsioiiH
of the disease were on exhibition, ana one
patient having what was regarded py soiio
as a third variety of the disease, uhe
macular. was closely examined. The view
expressed by Dr. G. Howard Fox, VINO hah
two of his patients present, was, however
that the macuIar type develops INTO tie
tubercular or the anasthetic variety after
a time. A number of the cases on view
last night had indications of both varieties

Howard Fox had a perfect specimen OF
the 1eonine countenance. an Italian, VINO
has been in America six years. He de-
veloped the disease a little over two years
ago. His face is now mass Of tubercular
growths, and his mouth is full Of LESSONS,
although his eyes do not seem to be af-
fected- His voice has grown hoarSe, and
he has great difficulty in making himself

Danger of Infection.

Dr. Duval said there was a serious risk
In allowing lepers at large, especially those
who had open LESSONS.
"A house may be infected" he said
and the leper may leave it and others
contract the disease there a long time
afterward-even years later
He described the leprous bacillus as from
two to three millimetreS in length and Of
lemon yellow color. It will live, he said, in
a salt solution for as much eight months
and retain all its strength d year without
anything to feed upon.
Direct inoculation from man to man is
rossible" said DR.. Duval, though it il
the exception. Indirect inocuation is the
most common method of the spread of the
disease.
His demonstrations with white mice and
Japanese mice led DR.. Duval TO the conclu-
sion that the disease was communicated
through the nose more readily than through
any other organ. He discussed the various
theories for the use of serum, but no con-
clusion on that subject had been reached,
he said
DIR. ISadore Dyer also of Tulane Uni
versity. discussing the sociological aspect
of leprosy, came out strongly in favor of
segregation. He advocated the stablish-
ment of a national institution for the treat
ment of the disease. and pointed out that
in those countries which adopted such a.
course the disease had diminished. The pa
/ tient was relieved from distress of mind
and cures were possible In such cases. Not
all cases demanded segregation, however
he said, and he instanced the work done in
Louisiana an example Of what should
be done for lepers all over the country
DR.. Brinckerhoff, who was surgeon at
the Marine Hospital In Hawaii, strongly
supported the views of Dr. Dyer and ex-
pressed surprise that the United States
should be the only country not to take
measures to stop the disease
