Many improvements have been made
during the past year by the government.
One of the greatest of these was the
building of a wharf or pier extending
more than 800 feet out to deep water.
This pier was built entirely Of rock
blasted from one of the nearby hillsides
1t was made with the idea Of a proper
landing place for the launches and other
vessels, but in the evenings hundreds OF
the patients may be seen strolling on this
pier and along the beach, while the band
plays back on the Luneta.
From this pier a new road has been
constructed to the new municipal center
and the hospital, extending around the
crest of the hill. This affords another
means of communication with the new
buildings without having to pass through

hospital at Culion. This building is one
Of the most complete Of its kind IN the
world. 1t is about 230 feet long and
was constructed as a double hospital,
a wing for each sex. with all Of the
latest ideas in the way of operating
rooms. sterilizing rooms. kitchens and
baths.
A tenement house is another new idea
for the comfort Of the patients on the is
land. This house Is about seventy five
feet long by thirty feet wide, and is made
entirely of concrete. 1t was built for
the care Of patients unable to get around.

Uncle Sam tried the experiment Of fur

for gardens. one or two farm animals
and agricultural tools, with the hope that
the place would eventually become self

plans were made to set aside an island
for this purpose, but 1t was not until
1905 that the plans had advanced sufi1-
ciently so start could be made toward
assembling the patients at Culion
The colony now consists of about
200 new nipa houses, each of which is
large enough to accommodate from
five to seven patients. These houses
have been built on regular street lines,
so that regular and beautifully laid
out town has resulted. The site Of the
town is located on the highest point of
the island, which slopes in nearly all
directions to the sea, the highest por-

Ter, ha Jpier and better satisfied than

Uncle Sam has practically completed a
thorough canvass of the greater part of
the islands, but there are several prov
inces not yet regarded as being entirely
free of the disease.
It is claimed the experience OF the gov
ernment during the past two years in the
Philippines strongly indicates that not
only will the disease be exterminated in
the islands, but that the project as un-
dertaken by Uncle Sam will ultimately
prove to have been most advantageous
from financial point of view. OF course,
it is said, this is looking at the matter
from the purely utilitarian point of view;
but. viewing it from the larger humani-
tartan standpoint, the care of all these
unfortunates will rebound to the credit
Of America as an act that will receive
favorable comment throughout the CIV
ilized world.
1.-THE actual work Of collecting and
caring for the colonists afterward still
presents obstacles" says DR.. Heiser.
'many of which at times seem unsur
mountable. Regardless Of what the opdn-
Ion OF people may be In the abstract,
when 1t comes to persons who will do
actual work in transporting patients to q
seaport. providing their subsistence. aid

the necessary medical examination, at

again and again demonstrated that they
are most difhcult to find. and only per-
sons with superior courage can be in
duced to continue at the work"
In speaking of the life of the colonists
DR.. Heiser says: considering the life Of
comparative idleness the patients lead.
that their passions and vices are not in
any way curtailed by their dt,Aase. and
grave offenses. 1t is a source Of satisfac-
ton to say that their conduct has been

THE LEPER BAND.
and continually seek out the incipient
cases and transfer them to Culion, so
that they may have the benefit of the
treatment there in time to affect cure.
During the past year the patients sent to
the colony were mostly in the incipient
stage of the disease, which gives promise
that a marked reduction in the number
Of unfortunates in the Philippine Is
lands may be expected in the near fu-
ture.
The results Of the work so far have
been very encouraging. Instead Of hav-
ing 1000 to 5000 Of these unfortunates
roaming around at will, and. as a result,
a special danger to everybody. the total
number has now been reduced to little
more than 1000. and the disease is
rapidly diminishing. Even If nothing
more should be accomplished, this re-
suit must stand as another great victory
for modern medical science In the his
tory of the world.
In speaking of the recent great discov.
cries for the treatment OF this disea se.
Dean c. Worcester. secretary OF the in
terror for the Philippines, says several
remedies have been given q thorough
trial during the year. but the use of
chaulmoogra oil and the X-ray are the
two procedures which have given the
best results. At Culion there are two
cases from whom all external evidence
Of the disease have disappeared. At San
LazarO Hospital five cases have shown
great Improvement and one ID apparently
cured.

greatest benefits to mankind he has yet
undertaken in the orient.
1t is on this island that he has decided
to attempt the care and cure Of all the
lepe-s In the Philippine Islands. While
the island. In its virgin beauty was mag

Uncle Sam has done within the past two
years have only served to enhance its
natural beauty and TO make it one Of the
most healthful and ideal places for the
purpose not only In the orient, but in
the world.
Here, on the Island Of Culion, hundreds
of miles out Of the beaten track Of COM
merce. is little colony OF some 5000
souls, practically a little republic all
by itself. They have their own mayor or
presidente. as he is called In the Philip
pines, and councillors, who are elected for
the colonists and who meet and pass laws
for the government Of the island. They
have a police force made Up Of their own
people to enforce these laws. and Of
punished for any infraction Of the law.

In addition to the presidente and coun-
cilors with their hackers. the police force.
they have q municipal band Of forty
pieces. This band il the pride Of the COL
