GOVERNMENT IS CURING
LEPROSY IN THE STATES
WASHINGTON.—In the past year'
three patients who had suffered from
leprosy were paroled from the lepro
sarium maintained by the United
States Public Health Service at Car
ville, La., as no longer considered a
menace of public health, it is stated
in a report to the health service from
hospital officials. A fourth patient
was discharged from the hospital,
said the report, because it was deter- j'
mined that he was not a sufferer from
leprosy.
The report also disclosed that dur
ing the 12-month period from June,
1925, to June of this year there were
62 lepers admitted to the institution,
while 25 had absconded. Thirteen of
the absconders, however, returned for
readmission to the hospital. Since the
Public Health Service assumed opera
tion of the leprosarium, which for
merly was known as the Louisiana
Leper Home, about 499 patients have
been hospitalized, says the report.
There were 29' fatalities occurring
to patients in the institution as a re
sult of their infections during the
past year, which is estimated at the
rate of about 112 per thousand.
Hospital authorities are continuing '
to use chaulmoogra oil to a large ex
tent at the institution, with a view to :
checking the ravages of leprosy. Defi
nite improvement. has followed in a
sufficient number of cases at the hos
pital, says the report, to encourage
the patients in the continuation of the
treatment.
