AN INCREASE
In Civilized Countries According
to an Insurance Company
StatiStician.

CINCINNATI. o., Oct. 25.-Leprosy
is apparently increasing in civilized
countries. according to DIR. Frederick
L. Hoffman, statistician OF the Pru-
dental Insurance Company, who pre-
scented today before the American
Public Health Association the results
OF study of the statistics of this dis
ease.
Dr. Hoffman said that a conserya-
tive estimate OF the number OF cases
in this country would be 300 and that.
as shown by the returns from the state
of Louisiana. the disease is apparently
on the increase.
Abiding to his Investigations at
leper settlements throughout the west
ern hemisphere, and the urgency OF a
more intelligent study of the statistical
aspects for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the essential contributory factors.
Or. Hoffman said an attempt was be-
ing made. TO bring together, by uni
form and standardized methods, the
leprOsy statistics for at least the prin-
cipal leper settlements throughout the
world, so as to ascertain with greater
accuracy the prevailing types of the
disease, the average duration before
apprehension, and the average length
OF after-treatment.
lie estimated the known lepers in
the world at not fewer than 1000 900
OF which the large majority were in
the far East Including the United
States insular possessions, ne esti-
mates that the number OF lepers sub
ject TO American control is not much
smaller than 5000.
DR.. Hoffman said he was strongly
in favor OF effective segregation and
more humane treatment. especially in
the case of isolated lepers apprehend-
ed in interstate traffic, and for which,
at the present time, inadequate pro-
vision 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. He suggest
ed the establishment OF federal lep-
rosarium. in conformity to bill in
troduced in the United States Senate.
That this measure had not become a
law was regrettable, he said, as mean
while the present conditions of Ill
considered treatment and lack of prop.
