Leprosy Not As Confagious As Many
Think, Medical Director Of Leper
Settlement Asseris On Visit Here
By ARTHUR DARWIN
Leprosy is not as contagious
as one might think.
This fact was brought out by
Dr. Norman Sloan, medical di
rector of the Kalaupapa Leper
Settlement in Hawaii, during an
informal interview here Thurs
day night. Dr. and Mrs. Sloan,
now ‘on their way to the West
Coasf from where they will re
turn to Hawaii, visited overnight
in Athens with the doctor’s niece,
Mrs. Jack Bradley, whose hus
band is ecommander of the local
Army and Air Force Recruiting
Station.
Still speaking of the contagious
qualities of the discase, nowever,
Dr. Sloan added that the com
pulsory segregation law passed
in the islands in 1865 has been
effective: the known active lepers
in 1890 numbered 1,175, a figure
that had been reduced to 390 by
1943.
When the possible ‘cures’ an
nounced by the Carville colony
in Louisiana were mentioned, the
doctor smiled thoughtfully feor a
moment and said, “We don’t
speak of cures even yet. While
the sulfones—the ‘wonder drugs’
—have given striking results
during the two years they have
been in use at Kalaupapa, we
can only declare cases to be
completely arrested Znd non
infectious.” We can’t prove there
will not be a recurrence in five
or ten years.” (He commended
newspapers and magazines for
their increasing , discrimination
in speaking conservatively of
‘progress’ ‘raiher than dramati
cally of ‘cures’).
In Virgin Islands
Beéfore Dr. Sloan went to the
island of Molokai, where the lit
tle cluster of ‘“‘group homes” sur
round the 60-bed hospital on a
beautiful peninsula jutting east
ward into the Pacific,” he was
for five years at the United
States leper colony in the Vir
'gin Islands, having previously
‘been a medical missionary to
Africa. Mrs. Sloan was for ten
years director of public health
work in the Virgin Islands.
Mrs. Sloan enthusiastically de
scribed as “wonderful” the men
tal outlook of the patients at
Kalaupapa Settlement, and their
activities as “as normal and in
teresting” as other communities
of 300 inhabitants. The women
have the woman’s natural inter
est in clothes and frippery, and

eventually go the way of the

cular sufferers were once Known.
Kalaupapa, the settlement
made famous throughout the
world Dy the great work of
Father Joseph de Vuester Dami
en shortly affer its establishment
in 1866, is supported by a yearly
appropriation of about $700,000
by the” terrftorial government.
Dr. Sloan is aided by a staff of
three doctors, two laboratory
technicians, an X-ray technician,
and a corps “of nurses.
The interview with Dr. Sloan
was made possible Dy his trip
to Havana, Cuba, where he was
the United States delegate to a
conference of the International
Leprosy Congress. The couple
flew to Havana, 'stopping in
Mexico, Guafemala, and Yuca
tan. The doctor showed home
made color movies of Kalaupa
pa and other colonies visited
during Mis trip. They will visit
the Carville colony in Louisiana
in the course of their automobile
trip to Los Angeles.
In Love With Work
This is the first trip Mrs.
Sloan has made to she United
States since they went to Molo
kai eight years ago. When asked
if she was ever homesick in the
islands, she replied, “I am Wome
sick for Kalaupapa right now.”
She and Dr. Sloan are two very
happy people. and give ample
evidence of being deeply in love
with their work. But he was sad
when he spoke of India’s’ and
Africa’s throngs of sufferers
who will never hear of ‘wonder
~drugs’ like the sulfones.
Dr. Sloan 1s a member o 1 the
}American Medical Association
and the Royal (British) Society
of Tropical Medicine. He has had
sevral papers on the early diag
nosis of leprosy and methods of
treatment published in the Ha
\waii Medical Journal. The mos
recent is a treatment of “Promir
land Other Sulfones in Leprosy.’
In spite of the new drugs
however, this humanitarian con
siders one of the most important
advances the fact that sufferers
are beginning to come to Kal
aupapa voluntarily, where they
had to be sought out in the past.
This will aid the new drugs im
measurably in treating early
cases before crippling effects of
the disease set in, as leprosy is
a youthful disease, the average
age of those in the colony being
only about 25 years.
The couple will return to their
work 'in the islands in June,
after a visit in the United States
of about three months.
