LeprOSy Being Cured.

Leprosy, that loathSomc disease,
that since Bible days has been con-

a leprosy hospital in Honolulu, not
far from Molokai, 142 leprosy pa
tients were sent home because their
disease seemed cured. OF these 142
only six returned for later treatment
during the next eight months, and the
disease had come back to them only
because they had not lived clean ana
careful lives after their discharge
from the hospital.
\ Catholic missionary, at the age OF
thirty-two. went to this leDer colony
dressing the sufferers sores, washing
their bodies, visiting their death-beuS
and even digging their graves. Not 2t
all to his surprise, Father" Damun,
himself. was attaced by leprosy in its
most virulent forms. He died of the
disease at the age of only foTty-eight
Shortly before his death he uttered,
this statement, which was scarcely
ir9re than the mere breath of hope,
