An editorial article on the subject of

Briefly, after adverting to the scare
created in London & few months ago by
the diaoovwry of one single specimen of
leprosy in that metropolis of 5,000,000 of
people, and the proposed founding of a
hospital for treatment of the disease in
consequence, the article proceeds to re¬

Let us quote an extract or two from
the article already referred to:

tered and sat at a table not more than
five yards distant. The husky voice of
oqe of the men attracted the writer’s at¬
tention. A careful examination showed
that the man was suffering from leprosy
in an advanced stage; his face had the
leonine expression, and the husky voice
doubtless indicated that the disease had
invaded the larynx. A waiter was called
and asked if the man with the hoarse
voice was a regular patron of the eating
saloon. The reply was in the negative.
The writer then ate his lunch.
