1t is the opinion Of medical author.
ities that leprosy of today is con
tagious only after prolonged and in
innate contact.
1t is not considered as contagious
as tuberculosis and syphilis, or to be
such menace as these two diseases
This latter statement is explained
by stating that more people suffer
from tuberculosis and syphilis than
from leprosy.
These two diseases through scien.
tific treatment can be cured, but
when one contracts leprosy, THERE
is NO CURE.
Lepers have been known to live
from twenty-five to thirty years after
contracting the disease, finally dying
from exhaustion.
There is very little pain from the
disease and in some instances the
eXtremities slough off without pain

Creator in eliminating pain and dis
