ISOLATES LEPROSY GERMS.
DR.. C. w. Duvall of Tulane Univer-
sitY Accomplishes It.

Announcement was made from New
Orleans today that DR.. c. w. Duvall of
Tulane University had succeeded in iso-
lating the bacillus of leprosy "for the
first time in medical history"
AS a matter of fact. it is declared. the
bacillus was isolated about eight months
ago by the surgeons Of the marine hos
pital service at Molaki, working under the
direction of Surgeon General Wyman.
This was considered at the time a most
important step. as the germ had never
been isolated and grown outside the hu-
man body.
The New Orleans dispatch says that
the leprosy germ lives in decayed fish.
1t has been commonly reported for years.
among the natives of countries where Iep-
rosy was prevalent. that there was some
connection between leprosy and bad fish,
but this statement seems no nearer ac-
tual confirmation than before.
