LEpR0SY CHECKED BY
OLD INyIAN REMEDY
Doctor Insists Victim Is No
Longer Menace to WOrkmen.

Ann ArbOr, Mich.-ISnOrant that he
was suffering from leprosy in an adj
vanccd stage-the physician who had
sent him had not diagnosed the dis
eaSe-a man came to DR.. lido Vile of
the medical faculty of the University
Of Michigan last July He was a pitt
able object His body was covered
with Icprous LESSONS
Dr.. Vile took the sufferer into the
university general hospital and has
treated him with Chattanooga oil, a
remedy for leprOsy that has been used
for generations in India, unsuccessful
~ in the great majority of cases.
Now his disease, which oftenest con-
dennis a man to life confinement in a
colony of his fellow sufferers, is ar
rested. The patient is making a splen-
did recovery, DR.. Vile says He is
strong and walks two miles each day
No more men shame him by calling
him "unclean."
He is no more dangerous TO any com
munity now than a tuberculosis pa
tient. Dr. Vile insists The doctor
adds:
"Work is given to a tuberculosis pa
tient who is able to work No one
questions his duty and right to support
himself and his family. Work should
be given to this man, once the most
dcSpised and feared of humans-a
leper''
The mans name is withheld that,
unknown, he may begin life anew and
earn bread for his wife and their baby
His entry into the hospital was affect
ing, dramatic.
1t SO happened that medical con
Vcntion was being held here and the
different clinics were open to the visit
ing physicians. DR.. Vile had not seen
the patient until he was wheeled into
the clinic. The doctors face went
white. Visitors leaned forward and
peered upon the mans nude body. Their
faces were tense. for they knew-they
thought him doomed.
The examination soon over. the pa
tent was wheeled out. and Dr. Vile
said. with emotion:
"That man has Il well advanced case
Of lcproSy. | must tell him. and it
will seem to him like reading his death
warrant. When his disease becomes
known it is doubtful if we can keep
him here. Even if the lcprosy cannot
be arrested the man has ten years yet
before him in which he might earn a
living were it not that he will be.
bounded from place to place; every
mans hand Will be against him
rs he curcd-Will he ever be abSO-
lutely curCd%" Dr. Vile was asked.
"A cure is always relative" answer
ed the doctor. AT present all the
symptoms that characterize leprosy
have disappeared in this case. He is
strong. confident. hopeful. If you ask
nee whether the leprous symptoms will
reappear | can no more tell you than
can assure man healthy today that
he will be i'll health as good ten or fif-
teen years hence

PERIL OF FEAR.

Fear causes more disease than

famine, more failures than pan
les. 1t costs more than war, is
always a failure and is never
necessary, said a medical man.
Fear weakens the hearts action,
induces congestion, invites indi-
gestion, produces poison through
decomposine foods and is thus
the mother Of autopoisoning,
which either directly causes or
greatly aids in the production of
quite go per cent of all our dis
cases.

FOREIGN SALES OF SECURITIES
RESUMED ON MODERATE ScA
Local Bond Dealers Are Nevertheless Confident Of
Future-Pennsylvani Steel Meeting-Buffao
and Susquehannas Big Earnings

Local bankers report the resumption of
the selling of securities in this country
for European account this week. For a
time the movement had been suspended,
but the big battle around Verdun, indi-
eating a new German attempt to reach
Paris, made some of the more prudent
foreign security holders inclined to dis
pose of some of their bonds and stocks
having a ready market in this country.
1t is said that many of the sales Of Anglo
French bonds in the last 4s hours were
seller 80 days" transactions. Well-in-
formed interests were inclined to believe
that while some of these sales were for
Holland, where the favorable rate of ex.
change caused considerable buying of
the loan in this market good propor-
tlon may have originated with du Pont
stockholders when they learned of the
odd melon cutting.
Nevertheless local bond dealers are
cheerful over the general outlook and eX-
press themselves as confident of the fu-
ture. on Change this morning there was
little worthy of comment. The tone was a
trine Irregular but fluctuations were so
narrow as to be insignificant. Around
noon Philadelphia Company turned strong
on light purchases, doubtless in belated
response to the fine report of earnings
published yesterday. Lehigh Valley,
Reading. Philadelphia Electric and the
fractions all registered moderate gains,
