Is a Typical Case.

DR.. Zeller examined the patient,
having had experience with leprOsy in
his long stay in the orient while
member Of the United States Army
medical corps
1T is a typical case said DR.. Eel
Ter today. 1t is what is known as the
nodular state; that is. the skin has
not broken at any point. The nodules
are well developed and Colored. To
the touch they feel like split pea IN
der the skin. His toes have commenced
TO harden or I might say to appear like
bone. 1t is impossible to say how
long he will live He has had the dis
ease many years and l am surprised
that some one has not discovered it,
as he has travelled over the country,
but so little is known about the dis
ease by physicians and so few
have seen cases that it is not after
all very wonderful that he has been
undeteCted.'
After the examination Of the patient
DR.. Zeller went to the Watertown
state hospital. Thomas O'ConnOr, a
member of the board Of administra-
ton, and a L. Bowen, executive sec
rotary of the state charities commits
sion, were there on other matters.
Cant We fix up a place here for
the leper?" said Or, Zeller to DR..
Campbell, the superintendent,
What's the matter with one or two
of the little cottages back on the hill?'
asked Dr. Campbell
That's Just the thing, it was agreed.
A visit was made TO the somewhat
dilapidated group of frame structures
which have not been occupied for a
long time.

$50 Cases In State.

So out Of this fund will come the
money which will fix up the cottages
and purchase all the patients supplies
during the time he remains in this
state.
1t is estimated that there are $50
cases Of leprosy in Illinois. DR.. Eel
Ter has accounted for so of them. Hi
nois is the fourth state in the union
to take cognizance of the disease as a
possible source of future danger and
to make some provision for meeting it..
Massa chusetts and California have col
onies under state control for the seq
regation of such afflicted men and
women. The United States govern
ment, through a special commission,
has been for a year Investigating this
disease and the possibilities of its be-
coming serious problem for our con-
sheraton.

And am pleased to accept the case
as my own and TO give it my personal
attention remarked the assistant SUI
perlntendent. Dr. Foley. The Mexicans
/ back of the shops are pleased because
their friend and brother will not be
taken from them. But one of the most
interesting features of this case is the
fact that Illinois can do all this out of
special appropriation of $4,000, made
by the last general assembly for Just
such an emergency as this. Few peo-
pie and probably few members of the
general assembly know that the state
has recognized leprosy as a social
menace and medical problem which
must soon be met and dealt with.
Or. Zeller and the board of admins
tration, however, were far seeing
enough and asked the general assem-
/ bly, for this small sum with which to
handle any case or cases of leprosy
which might develop during the two
years before the meeting of another
Legislature.
