Declaration Made Before the Public
Health Association Today.
Associated Press Dispatch
Cincinnati, o., October 25.-Leprosy is
apparently increasing in civilized coun-
tries, according to DR.. Frederick l.. Hoff-
mar, statlstician of the Prudential In
before the American Public Health as
sociation the results of a study of the
statistics of this disease. DR.. Hoffman
said that a conservative estimate of the
number of cases in this country would
DE 500 and that as shown by the re-
turns from the state of Louisiana the
disease is apparently on the increase
Abiding to his investigations at leper
settlements throughout the western hem
lsphere, and the urgency of more in
tellgent study of the statistical aspects
1or the purpose of ascertaining the es-
sential contributory factors. Dr. Hoff-
man said an attempt was being made
TO bring together, by uniform and stand-
ardlzed methods, the leprosy statistics
Tor at least the principal leper settle
ments throughout the world, so as to
ascertain with greater accuracy the pre-
Valllng types of the disease, the aver
age duration before apprehension, and
the average length of after trea tment.
He estimated the known lepers in the
which the large majority were in the
far east. Including the United States
insular possessions, he estimates that the
number of lepers' subject to American
control is not much smaller than 5000.
DIR. Hoffman said he was strongly in
favor of effective segregation and more
humane treatment, especially in the case
of insulated lepers apprehended in inter-
state traffic, and for which, at the pres
ent time, inadequate provision was made
in the majority of cases, and adequate
provision only in the case of three or
four states in the absence of complete
federal leper supervision and control
lie suggested the establishment of a
bill introduced in the United States sem
ate. That this measure had not be-
come a law is regrettable. he said, as
meanwhile the present conditions of 'ill-
considered treatment and lack of proper
care would have to continue.
