A NATIONAL HOME FOR LEPERs

BY reason of our interests in the
Philippine Islands and other posses
5ions, there Is danger Of the introduc-
ton of leprosy by returning American
citizens. Large numbers OF soldiers,
sailors and civil employees spend pro-
longed periods abroad, particularly in
the PHILIPPINE Islands, where there Is
decided danger Of contracting the in
lection. The disease may not mani.
fest itself on these persons for years
after their return. Leprosy should not
be regarded as of no Importance, Meth
er should 1t be an object Of unreason-
able aversion on the part Of the public.
Public health officials and physicians
should systematically teach the people
the nature of the disease, the extent OF
it's contractibility, and above all, the
humane treatment that should be &C
corded lepers. Every case Of leprosy
should be promptly reported to the
proper health authority and, whenever
necessary, the laws should be so
amended and penalties provided for
non.observance All lepers should be
isolated to prevent the spread of the
disease, but this should be so done as
to promote the comfort and happiness
of those SO afflicted. On account Of
the difficulty of providing these condi'
tions in towns, counties and states
where single cases of leprosy occur,
and because of consequent inadequate
methods of control, there should be es-
tablished under the United States Pub
lie Health Service a national leper
home for the care and treatment Of
such cases as may be turned over by
state and local health authorities for
the purpose.

several opportunities to score. Pendle-
