IT, S. HOSPITAL REPORTS
NEW CURE FOR LEPROSY;
IS CASES ATTEST CLAIM

WASHINGTON, Oct. I. 10y the
Associated Press.)-Leprosy,
scourae Of humanity since early his
tory, apparently has been conquered
by officers Of the United States pub
lie health service in the leper colony
at kalihi, Hawaii. Forty eight sut-
ferers OF the dreaded malady, who
have been subjected to new method
OF treatment, have recovered to such
extent as to warrant their release on
parole and, after a year, not one has
shown a symptom OF recurrence.
As yet, no announcement OF
cure" has been made officially for
some of the government medical eN-
perts are frankly skepticai OF the
results. 1t may be years before an
official and final opinion is given.
The limit OF the official claim Is
set forth in a Joint report 10 the
public health service made by DIR.
]. T, Mcdonald, director of the lep-
rosy investigation station aud super
intending physician To kalihi hos
pital, and by President a. L. Dean
of the University Of Hawaii as fol-
lows:
1T has been sufficiently established
that chaulmoogra oil contains one or
more agents which exert marked
therapeutic action in many cases or
leprosy. We can not say as yet that
the disease is cured, since we have
no test adequate TO establish such
verdict. Whether or not the APP
parent cures are real and permanent,
II is evident that we have a valuable
agent at our disposal in the control
OF the disease"
Chaulmoogra oil In its crude state
is no new drug for the treatment of
leprosy. but In its raw form 1t proved
so nauseating and painful to pa
tents that IL had to be temporarily
discontinued. Science turned to-
ward it's derivatives and Drs. Me
Donald and Dean report "it was
found that the ethyl of the fatty acids
were thin fluid oils lending them
selves readily 10 intramuscular in
jectinns and were readily absorbed"
Injection OF the oil derivative by a
syringe has brought n new hope to
the leper. for at kalihi hospital in
lection day" is described by the doe
tors report as an occasion for mer-
ry-making though OF painful expert
ence for the sufferers,
The standard treatment" the re-
port says now consists in weekly
injections of preparation which
consists of the mixed ethyl esters OF
the acids OF chaulmoogra oil with two
per cent of iodine in chemical COM
bination. The amount used starts
at one cubic centimeter and is grad
ually increased to a maximum of four
or five cubic centimeters for adults"
Accessory treatments of iodine lini-
ment, oihtments and sun baths are
employed as measures TO improve the
general health and mental attitude of
the patients.

Senator Harding's discussion of the

He knew that they had all moved to

that rats did not move like this with

driven them out was more than the
farmer could guess. For years he had
tried to get rid Of the rats there and
hadn't been able to. Now suddenly they
had deserted the big barn and taken
