Curing the Leper.

One of the greatest achievements Of
medical science in history is indicates
in the report from the Philippine
Islands that twenty-three lepers have
been pronounced free from all trace of
disease for a period of two wears or
more According to number Of exam
lining scientists these men and women
are now entitled to return TO their
homes.
The lepers We're under treatment in
an asylum under the direction of the
United States hospital service in the
Philippines. This asylum is far in ad-
vance of most similar institutions. II
is a model village. with the best equip
duty is done by leper policemen. who
have proved trustworthy and loyal in
the enforcement of regulations. Light
agricultural work is provided for those
capable of performing it. 4 small the
alter and band furnish the element Of
amusement.
Leprosy is one of the oldest of dis
eases known to man, and one of the
most terrible. 1t has always been con-
sidered incurable. Should the future
show that the experts are correct in
believing that the course of treatment
used in the Philippines is a cure in
even some cases. it will represent
victory over one of the oldest enemies
of the race.

Whenever she decides to prepare for

the public peace along his route. San
Rafael apparently gets more than her
share of these itinerant gun artists.
They point out the spot where one such

population of the village to mortal
combat. The entire population unaui-
