LEPROSY CURE
BELIEVED FOUND,
TWO ARE CLEAN
Specialists to Examine Result
of Method of Penikese
Physician.

PENIKESE ISLAND, Mass. July
2S.-Has the dream Of the medical
prOfesSion-a cure for dreaded
eprosy-cOme true?
This question Will be answered
this afternoon when a special COM
mission OF New York and Boston
specialists visits the State leper COL
ony on this island.
DR.. F. II. Parker, in charge OF the
sixteen lepers confined here. believes
he has cured two of them-young
men under treatment for thrse
years. Every indication POINTS to
the fact that both men have been
cured Several tests have been
made upon them for traces OF the
disease, and all Of them show that
IL has disappeared. Both suffered
from average cases when they were
sent to Penikese.
To make sure that the men are
cured. DR.. Bernard Carey, director
OF the division of communicable dis
eases Of the Massachusetts State De-
partment OF Health. arranged for
the commission 10 examine the men
beginning today. Thorough tests
covering a period of a week will be
made. Those who comprise the
commission are DIR. Victor Heiser,
of New York. member of the Inter
national Health Board: Or. Victor
Stafford. of Boston Board OF Health;
Or Algernon Coolidge. OF Massa-
chuSetts General Hospital, nose and
throat specialist, and DR.. Townsend
Thorndike. Boston skin specialist.
Make State Tests.
State tests under the direction Of
DIT Parker show that the LESSONS or
nodules have completely disap-
peared. The face of one OF the
young men was covered with Jumps
or nodules when he went 10 Peni-
kese. Now his face is clear.
The tests show negative results
that is. that there are no traces of
the disease. If the tests TO be made
by the commission bear out the be-
lief OF the state authorities. two
men who were practically sentenced
To confinement for life will be re-
leased.
The treatment OF the men con-
sisted In plenty OF air and sunshine.
good food. etc. similar TO treatment
of tuberculosis. and in addition the
use OF Chemulga oil, imI orted from
India. and sodium gyrOcardanate.
The three substances were given In
ternally As 10 is an irritant. Five
drops were given at first and the
amount increased until a dose OF 40
drops could be taken by the patient
without upsetting his stomach. This
Indian oil was administered three
times day. The oil comes from
tho Indian plum tree.
The apparent cure OF these men is
due largely 20 the faithful minis
trations Of Dr. Parker. who Is in
charge of the leper colony. He has
given the best that is in him 10 the
unfortunates under his care
