LEPROSY CHECKED BY OLD INDIAN REMEDY
Doctor Insists Victloi Is Nti Longer Menace to Workmen.
Ann Arbor, Mich.—Ignorant that be was suffering from leprosy in an ad¬ vanced stage—the phy.siclan wbo bad sent him had not diagnosed the dis¬ ease—a mun came to Dr. Udo Wile of the medical faculty ot the University of Michigan Inst July. lie was a piti¬ able object. Ills body was covered with leprous lesions.
Dr. Wile took the sufferer into tbe university general hospital and has treated him with chaul-moogra oil, a remedy for leprosy that has been used for generations in India, unsuccessful¬ ly In the great majority of cases.
Now his disease, whicb oftenest con¬ demns a mau to life confinement in a colony of his fellow sufferers, is ar¬ rested. The patient is making a splen¬ did recovery, Dr. Wile says. He Is strong and walks two miles each day. No more men shame him by calling him "unclean."
He is no moro dangerous to any com¬ munity uow than a tuberculosis pa¬ tient. Dr. Wile Insists. The doctor adds:
"Work Is given to a tuberculosis pa¬ tient who Is able to work. No one questions bis duty and rigbt to support himself and his family. WorlL should be given to this man, once tbe most despised and feared of bnmans—u leper."
Tbe mau's name Is withheld that, irnknown, he may begin life anew and earn bread for his wife and their baby. His entry Into tbe hospital was affect¬ ing, dramatic.
It so happened that a medical con ventlon was being held bere, and'the different clinics were open to tbe visit¬ ing physicians. Dr. Wile had not seen tbe patient until he was wheeled into the clinic. The doctor's face went white. Visitors leaned forward and peered upon the man's nude body. Their faces were tense, for they knew—they thought bim doomed.
Tbe examination soon over, tbe pa¬ tient was wheeled out. and Dr. Wile said, with emotion:
"That man has a well advanced enue ot lepro.sy. I must tell him, and it will seem to him like reading his death warriint. When his <lls«>aso liecomos known It is doubtful If we can keep him here. Even If the leprosy cunriot be arreste<l the man hns ton years yet beforo him in which he might earn n living wore It not that ho will in- bounded from place to place; ever.v man's hand will bo against blm."
"Is he cured—will ho ever bo :ilwi< lutely cured'/" Dr. WUe was asked.
"A cure Is always relative," answer ed tho doctor. "At prosent all tbo symptoms that charactorlze lopn^-^.v have dIsapf)earod in this caso. He Is strong, coufldent, hopeful. If you ask me whether tbe leprous s^ymptoiA will reappear I can no more tell you than I can assure a man bealtb; today that be will be in health aa g*od tea or flf¬ teen yean tience."
