Following a course of treatment
given under the supervision of Or.

at is impossible 10 state absolute
ly that this Is a cure and II is equally
impossible to say that 1t is not a
cure" was the statement of President
Mott-Smith this morning. An we
know Is that the hoy had lcprosy aud
that upon reorganization no evidence
Of the bacillus was found. Whether
II k a permanent cure or not, time
alone can tell
The baCtcriological aud clinical
tests To which the boy has been suit
jCCtCd prove that he is now absolute
ly without evidences of the disease
and under the provisions of the RC-
yised Laws is released from the Kalihi
detention camp.
The method pcrsuod by WaysDn
constitutes radical departure in the
treatment of the disease. The use Of
carbon dioxidc snow. the efficacy OF
which In the treatment of severe skin
diseases was recently discovered on
the mainland, was rcsorled 10 by DE-.
WaysOn. The application of the in
tense cold to the afflicted parts OF
the boys body resulted In disaU-
pearance of the lcprous LESSONS and
the appearance Of clean tissue.
The results are positive ana 1t only
remains to be seen whether other
cases viii respond to WaysOn's me-
thods 10 prove 1t cure for leprOsy.
