The average life, even of eases which arc sufficiently well advanced and clearly marked to be discovered and sent to leper colonies, is from i ten to fifteen years after their ad- ! mission, and over half the deaths which occur in our large modern leper hospitals, where lepers are ‘ carefully kept, are from pulmonary , tuberculosis. The disease most commonly makes its appearance either upon the face, the hands or the feet, which fact suggested the theory of its transmission by the bite of in sects or through house or soil in fections or through vermin. It pro duces either fissures or tumors, breaking down into deep and slowly progressing ulcerations, which gir- I die and finally am putate fingers, i toes and segments of limbs. But it is exceedingly slow in reaching or seriously affecting any of the great vital organs, and, by a most mer ciful clemency of fate, it attacks the nerve trunks of the arms and limbs at a very eariy stage— in deed, travels up them toward the body and blocks them off or para lyzes \them well in advance of its ulcerations. It numbs in advance the parts which it ravages so ef fectually that its progress is sur prisingly free from pain. Indeed, so strong is the affinity of 1 he bacillus for the nerves that j the earliest sign of trouble in one of the commonest forms of the dis ease. known as the anaesthetic or j \unfeeling\ type of leprosy, is numbness and complete loss of feel ing in a linger or thumb or pulcb of skin upon the palm or back of ibe band or forearm, or even high up on the shoulder, or in the mid- j die of the back. Pram atic stories are told of white sided, for slight . men residing in the tropics who i have first discovered that, they were lepers by catching a falling lamp chimney or thrusting their haml- j too near or into a flame and never feeling any paiu or knowing that ■ they were being burned until the smell of their scorching skin reach- : ed their nostrils. — I>r.
