LEPROSY CURE
THE HEW TREATMENT LONDON, February 26. The annual report of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association states that there 'are eighty lepers in Australia.
Sir Leonard Rogers,_ at the meeting, maintained that, despite criticism, leprosy was curable in the early stages if treated with hydnocarpus oil. He declared that 80 per cent, of probable infections could be detected and cleared up in the early stages if countries wore sufficiently advanced to_ carry out the simple plan of examining the households and close contacts of all lepers every six months for five years.
