The report that the wife Of an army
officer living In Washington is a SUI
ferer from leprosy is supplemented by
the statement that the attack OF the
disease Is mild. and that there Is every
hope for recovery. A few years ago
such an announcement with regard to
victim Of leprosy would have been
considered a piece of Wild romancing.
The leper was doomed, as lepers had
been doomed since the beginning Of
time. Now II Is a mere matter OF
routine that the patient is to be sent
to the government hospital in Louis
lana, there TO receive the newest chaul-
mOOgra oil treatment which Surgeon
General Cummings credits with the
cure Of SO patients In the federal hos
pital at Hawaii.
