A LTHOUGH the medical profession proved
~ years ago that leprosy is Of the
least contagious diseases, yet the ap-
pearance Of case OF this disease in a com.
munlty still causes frantic demand that the
leper be eXilcd. In this particular matter the
pubic Will not listen to the profession whose
Judgment it honors on the majority OF medical
subjects.
IT Is probable that this Unborn dread of lep-
rosy and absurd fear OF contagion was In
stilled into Europeans in the thirteenth cen.
tury, when the Crusaders, returning from the
East, brought back and distributed over Eu.
rope veritable plague of the disease. II is
now believed by the medical profession. how.
ever. that the disease which afflicted Europe
at tnis time was not leprosy in the form in
which it is known to-day.

into Europe from Asia by the returning legions

Dacllus or the disease was not discovered until
