CHAULMOOGRA OIL
Selected
Selected

n FIER the best medical and scientific
~ minds of the world had wrestled
with the dread disease of leprosy
for ages the one cure came not from a
learned mans laboratory, nor yet from the
factory of the patent medicine man. 1t
was the studious doctor armed with
modern science who conquered smallpox
yellow fever, cholera, malaria, typhus and
a thousand other ills to which flesh is heir;
but all their assaults on the terrible dis
ease of leprosy were in vain and left them
baf1ed. And all the while the cure was
going to waste; it was the long-looked- for
sovereign remedy-chaulmoogra oil.
Even in the time of Moses the disease
was greatly dreaded, and careful study
was made of it, though not by doctors, as
is shown in the 18th chapter of Leviticus.
1t was ordered that man or woman who
had symptoms of the malady should be
brought to Aaron the priest for examina-
ton, and if it could not be determined
that it was or was not leprosy, the person
was confined seven days and examined
again, and then he might be confined for
another seven days for another examina-
ton.
1t was specified as precaution that if
a mans hair "is falling off his head" he
may be merely bald and not necessarily
leprous. But "if there be in the bald head,
or the bald forehead, white, reddish sore,
it is leprosy sprung up in his bald head,
as the eprosy appeareth in the skin of the
fesh." "And the lepr in whom the plague
is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head
bare, and he shall put covering upon his
upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, un-
clean" 1t was decided, however, that
when the whole skin became white with
the disease, instead of spotted with it, the
person became "clean" again.
While Moses was still in Egypt he was
told to thrust his hand into his bosom, and
when he withdrew it is was "leprous
white" The disease may not have origi
mated in the country of the Nile as the
ancients believed, but it is certain that n
very early times it was widespread
throughout the East, including India and
China. The Greeks and Romans called
it foreign disease" but in the first CEN
tury B. c. it was known in Italy. 1t was
said to have been contracted in Syria by
the soldiers of Pompey's army.
1t was during the crusades, and through
them, that all Europe became afflicted with
the awful malady brought back by the
jealous pilgrims. The scourge became
terrible, and leper houses were set up in
every town; most of these were named
after St. Lazarus. Lepers were isolated
by law. They were made to wear a spe-
cial costume, usually long gray gown
with a hood over the face, and they car
ried wooden clappers to give noise of their
approach. The disease began to decline in
the 18th century and had almost disap-
peared from Europe in the 18th.
1t is generally in tropical countries that
leprosy has persisted though it took
hold on Norway and Iceland, where leper
hospitals are still maintained. China and
India have long been affected, and the
Hawaiian islands have especially suffered.

little or new EnglanderS, and the latter
cared less for the former"
These little groups of peoples first
isolated themselves in trade. Connecticut
taxed all goods from other states FIVE per
cent New York levied duties on both
Connecticut and New Jersey. Oliver ELS
worth, talking about the burdens borne by
Connecticut, said: "The state of New
York raises 100000 or $4,000 a year by
impost. Connecticut consumes third of
the goods upon which this impost is laid,
and consequently pays one-third of this
sum to New York If we import by the
medium of Massachusetts, she has an i'm
post and to her we pay tribute" The
English newspapers were full of "The
tumult, the anarchy and the bankruptcies
and distresses of America" Requisitions
were levied on the several states for money
with which to run the government, but
each state tried to get out from under and
leave the burden on the others.
Suppose Washington had foreseen as he
read his farewell address that some day
it would be read over the whole western
continent, and that east and west and
north and south would be interpreted in
the geography of the united western
world. He would just as soon have
thought of proposing lasting union for
the universe. Probably the most visionary
scheme of world-union ever dreamed of is
not so fantastical to us today as the
though. Of TIE western world in working
union would have been to Washington.
Under the conditions in which he lived it
would have been physically impossible to
have the remote parts of America repre-
sented in general congress; the delegates
could not have travelled rapidly enough to
get there during the term for which they
were elected.
The moral of the whole matter is
Washington's words are important today
in just the degree that they are true for
a union which he did not even remotely
consider. While they might have been i'm
-portant enough for the little union he was
talking to, they would be meaningless
today if that was all If talk of east and
west and north and south had reference
only to the little group of states on the
map of Washington, we should have to
hunt in remote and musty histories to dis
cover them. 1t is because Washington
said something that was true for a con-
tinent and because he helped to organize
government that, like the Arabs tent,
could shelter a single person or an army
of 10000, that his words are read and
honored once year in the United States
senate.
Of course there is another moral: We
have no more arrived at the limitation of
north and south and east and west today
than Washington had arrived at the limi
tation in the colonies, and what we do
and say will be measured just as what he
did and said, by its applicability to
world joined in one common effort to re-
move the sectionalsm and tribalsm we
inherit from the days of beginnings and
that we abandon just as we go up in the
scale of civilization. To have united the
little colonies would be something. But
we should be hardly better off than the
Balkan states if that had been all. North
America would rank in world affairs with
Central and South America. The turmoil
of America would have outdone the tur-

Foos May Supply Water.

In order to overcome the serious
shortage Of water caused by last years
record drought in England, scientists
have been experimenting with a view
to obtaining permanent water supplies
from fogs. One Of the experimenters
has devised a reservoir to collect the
dew and moisture contained In fogs.
1t Is calculated that one Of these
dew reservoirs, with q cover area Of
100 square yards, would collect 24,OOO
gallons of dew and rain in the eastern
counties in the course. of a year. With
a storage capacity of 1900 gallons,
1t could supply on an average 120 gal
Ions daily during the summer months
and 80 gallons daily during the re-
mainder of the year.
