Experiments Show Rare In
dian Oil Kills Dreaded
Malady.
TESTS PROVE SUCCESS
Fifty-nine atients Reveal
No Trace of Disease Year
After Treatment.
tBy Universal seryiccD

Successful experiments upon ffty-
nine persons suffering from leprosy
lead officials of the United States
Public Health Service to believe
they have at last found a cure for
that ancient and dread disease.
Every one Of the ffty-nine has
recovered to such an extent as to
warrant release on parole, and after
a year not one shows the smallest
symptom of recurrence.
Announcement of this fact
through the journal of the Missouri
Medical Association was confirmed
last night by DR.. Claude Lavindar:
OF the Washington Public Health
Service.
Oil Treatment Given.
The starting point for this study
was the observation that now and
then the course of the disease dep
rosy) appeared to be favorably in
fiuenced by treatment with chsul-
moogra OIL says an official report.
AT this point the United States
Public Health Service enlisted the
cooperation of Prof. L. L. Dean,
head OF the chemical department
of the College of Hawaii, suggest
ing that attempts be made either
20 isolate the active constituent Of
this drug or to devise means for
making its continued administration
feasible.
Lepers Eager for Cure.
''The latter has been accomplish
ed by preparing what is known as
an ethyl ester from the chaulmoo-
gra oil.
The results of the treatment thus
far have been so satisfactory that
lepers come willingly for treatment,

health authorities failing to dis
close a single secreted case of lep-
rosy.
Victims ParoIed.
"FoIlowing a course Of treatment
eNte nding over about a year, forty
eight lepers treated were paroled in
October, 1919. Up to now they have
remained free from disease. At
the present time the treatment has
been administered only at the re-
ceivinE station. but il is hoped to
provide facilities for the treating
also of lepers in the leper colony at
MOlokai."
One difficulty now lies in obtain
ing this rare oil in adequate guam
titles. The Chaulmoogra tree is a
native of India. To obtain sUffi-
cient number of trees the Federal
government is sending Prof. Joseph
F. Beck, of the Department Of Agri-
culture, to BUrmah. He will bring
back seeds and slips which will be
set out in government nurseries in
Hawaii and elsewhere.
