That It
was a tie game was a good
deal of a surprise to almost everyone,
for they expected to see Americus get
badly defeated, as they have been in
the past. But they have an almost new
team and they are putting up a far
better article of ball than formerly.
Anyway, It was worth looking at. Jt
was a beautiful exhibition of the sport
and the few who saw it enjoyed it to
the utmost. It was the prettiest game
that has been played in the league.

Those who have had any doubts
about Posey’s ability can lay them
aside now. He has been subjected to
much severe criticism here in Albany,
having lost the games that he has
pitched from the inability of the oth

on he is to have a square deal has
helped him wonderfully.
DeCosta, the new first baseman, is
long-haired and lanky. He. moves

Second Inning.
Yancey walks. Newkirk sacrifices.
Dusenbery strikes out. Westbrook

Dudley gets a hit. Crosley and Fo-
Harry Eldred’s work was gilt-edged.
He made two brilliant put-outs at first,
slipping up behind the unsuspecting
ones.
The Americus that we are playing
is not the one the rest of the teams
have been up against. The men are
nearly all new.
It was a good game to tie In, even.
We must take this one from them,
or the fans will say that we can’t win,
even from the Cellarites.
DeCosta Is not in condition yet, be
ing stiff, and the fans must bear in
mind this fact He will soon be,
though, and Snodgrass says that he
will push any first baseman In the
circuit.
New Orleans, La., May 24.—-The
board of control of the State Home for
Lepers has announced to Governor
Blanchard that at last a positive cure
for leprosy has been found and that
three patients afflicted with the dis
ease for years have been discharged.
All three cures have been efteoted in
the home, it was reported, and eleven
others are on the road to recovery.
The board not only announced that
the successful treatment had been dis
covered, but divulged the drugs em
ployed—ichthyol, chlorate of potash,
strychnine, salicylate of soda, chaul-
moogra oil and arsenic. It detailed
also the other essential features, in
cluding dally hot baths, nourishing
food and open air life, bo physicians
in all parts of the-globe Immediately
might begin curing leprous patients.
Unconquered for Ages.
A certain cure for' consumption
alone could rival the Importance of
that for leprosy, and that only because
the white plague affects a much larger
number of persons than does the older
scourge. Leprosy for thousands of
years’has been regarded as ipcurable.
The hoard of the Lepers’ Home
withheld its report until certain not
only that leprosy could be'cured, hut
that the disease could be arrested at
any stage. It knew two years ago that
cures could he achieved in certain
cases, hut, determining to avoid rais
ing false hopes, waited until the treat
ment has been tested by patients of
all ages and all degrees of the scourge'
The three patientB discharged as cured
ranged in age from 13 to 50 years.
Proof is Convincing.
In addition, the board waited until
the medical men of the institution
said they had arrested eight other
cases showing no symptom save pig
mentation and throe caseB in which
the destruction of flesh and bone al
ready had set in when treatment was
began.
“The first case," the report to Gov,
Blanchard sayB, “was that of a boy,
13 years old, admitted in October,
1902. He was discharged on Dec.
1904, as cured, and has been kept un
der observation since. There has
been no return of any evidence of the
disease. The second case was that of
woman, 50 years old, admitted on
Aug. 10, 1900, and discharged on Dec.
19,1905, as cured, The third case was
of a woman, 30 yearB old . admitted on
June 2, 1904. She was discharged as
cured on April £6, 1906.*’
As to the patients still In the home,
the report says; “There are eight
with whom the disease has been ar
rested with no active lesions find no
evidence of the scourge, excepting
pigmentation; there are three with
whom the disease has been arrested,
but with evidence of former destruc
tion. Of those with the arrested type
at least six are being kept under ob
servation with the view of their being
discharged after a reasonable period
of freedom from the plague.”
Regarding the treatment which has
brought about the remarkable condl*
tlons, the report says:
“In 1894 regular and, systematic
treatment was established, comprising
ichthyol, chlorate of potash, strych
nine, salicylate of soda, chaulmoogra
oil, arsenic, etc. Since 1902 systematic
treatment has been followed and with
marked results. The best results seem
to follow the treatment with chaul
moogra' oil and strychnine, and the
three patients discharged as cured all
followed that treatment thoroughly.
Method Is One of Nutrition.
“The method of treatment Is one of
nutrition. If a resistance can be es
tablished in the patient the disease
will dlsapear. Leprosy Is recognized
by us as a baclllai'y disease find one
on which the tissues of the person af
flicted are used as a feeding ground.
Any medicine or treatment, hygiene or
habit, which will change the tissues
into food the baallli cannot feed upon
will help the patient to a logical re
sistance. All patients are required to
take daily hot baths and .to eat plenty
of wholesome food, without respect to
its being fish, flesh or fowl or vegeta
ble, and additionally It Is required that
they shall spend as much time as pos
sible In the open air and sunshine."
Dr. Hopkins, visiting physician to
the borne, and Dr. Isador Dyer, con
sulting leperologlst, signed the reports
to the board on which the report to
the governor was based. They expect
most, if not all of the patients- still In
the Institution, to be discharged as
cured In the next few months.
The report asserts that there Is evi
dence of a repent outbreak in Louis
iana and that several centers of Infec
tion remain to be investigated. V,
tells also of the carrying of the disease
to hitherto non-lnfected points by pa
tients escaping from the home, and
urges the legislature to find all the
Infection points. In fact, qo serious is
the situation as regards not only
Louisiana, but the country at large,
that the establishment of a national
hospital for lepers is suggested.
