Outbreak of Leprosy.
[Per Preßß Association] Brisbane, March- 13. A European boy of 11, attending the Central School, where there are 1100 children, was found to be suffering from leprosy. He developed symptoms at Christmas, but the doctors did not think it was leprosy. The Government offered the parents to' privately isolate the boy and attend to him, but it has been decided for the sake of others that the family shall be removed to the Government lazarette. The discovery has caused a great scare among the relatives of the children attending the school. This Day. A remarkable thing about the leprosy case is that the boy was never exposed* to risk of contagion anywhere.
