known. Ii certainly is caused by
contact and mere association with
lepers is safe if precautions are taken.
And contact would not explain the
prevalence of the disease. One
theory. generally discredited. is that a
fish dict causes lepross. Another IS
that the disease is spread by hercdity.
This latter assumption is not accur-
ate. for the reason that lepcrs usually
are sterile. Moreover descendants OF
lepers have been known to be free
from the disease.
Almost Always incurabIe.
Unknown. feared, leprosy exists like
Il black horror in the world, one OF
the few mysteries still resisting sci
ence. 1t is practically incurable. Some
types of leprosy do rarely yield to
treatment. but the ordinary leper is
doomed. though care may prolong his
life.
The common form of leprosy be-
comes manifest first in big blotches OIL
the skin. which pass away and r-cur
with periods of fever. Finally nOdules
develop and remain. They soon be-
come open ulcers, bringing the las,
and most hideous stage Of the disease
Isolation of lepers is insisted upon II
all civilized communities and prob
ably restricts the disease. though tn
famous leper colony at MOlokai
Hawaii, has not greatly benefited the
islands.
Leprosy is almost unknown in Nortl
America. 1t occurs in Louisiana, Il
California, among the Chinese: ir
Minnesota, Wisconsin and North ane
South Dakota, among Norwegians. and
in New Brunswick, among French
Canadians. In Montana it has not be
fore been noted, as far as is known.
