|Leprosy, Unconquered
Scourge of Ages, w ill
Be Conquered.
FIRST STEP MADE
TOWARD A CURE
Discovery Of Surgeons on Plague
Stricken Molokai Island Is
Initial Move in Production
of Vaccine or Serum.
Scientists Hope a Lepri-
sine May Be Found.

| Washington, August 2s-Leprosy,
the unconquered scourge of the ages,
is making what Is believed to be its
last stand against science. From
Molokai. the coral island prison for
the plague-stricKen in the Haw allan
group. few words have been flashed
halfway around the world to WASH
ington, telling of an achievement ac-
counted second only to the discovery
of the lepra bacillus. by Hansen. in
1879.
Three surgeons of the United States
Public Health and Marine Hospital Ser
vice, after months OF toll, have grown
jepra bacilli in pure culture autside

.ubes in the laboratory. the loathsome
germs are now growing in their third
generation.
Four times the scientists have taken

On beef broth. egg or the amoeba of the
lntestines of guinea pig The work
Of DIR. Moses r. Clegg. who declared
less than a year ago at Manila that ha
had found that the bacilli could be cul-
tivated outside the human body, is
verified and extended. Clegg has been
rushed from the Manila scientific sta
ton to Molokai 10 assist in the ex-
periments.
This achievement of the scientists
at the governments leprosy investi-
cation station. is the first step in the
production Of vaccine or a serum for
the cure or prevention of leprosy. Pre-
cisely the same ground has been cover
ed by the men who found the
Giphtheria anti-toxin and the serum
for tetanus. In each of these cases
the growing of the germ in pure cul-
ture has been the stepping -stcne to the
cure
Four Months Work.
DR.. Donald Fl. Currie, director of the
station; DIR. Walter r. BrinkerhoH and
DIR. II. r. Holman are the men. who.
have grown the cultures. After four
months careful work, in which they
had labored to grow the lepra bacillus
in the amoeba of pond water, guines
pig insestines and other low forms o.
animal life, they were about to give
up defeated.
( Some of the tubes containing the
specimens We're about to be destroyed
when one of the men determined to-
make a last inspection of the cultures
in forlorn hope. 10 his astonish-
ment he found the germ living. The
discovery spurred the Investigators to
new effort, and back over the blazed
trail they had covered so often they
worked again.
Currie obtained pure culture. which
means he eliminated the amoeba ana
the cholera bacillus, and now has this
lepra bacillus propagating of itself. |
The others have been grown through
to ten generations.
Aside from the hopes of evolving
serum or vaccine for prevention
or a cure of the scourge, scientists
hope the Investigators may find a lep-
risine. which, like tuberculine. would
detect the disease in It's first stages.
