Lepers In the World.
According to Mnlhall, leprosy is far more prevalent in Europe than most people suppose. He says that there are now 8,000 lepers in Portugal, 1,770 in Norway, 6,000 in Russia and about 2,000 all told in other European countries. In India there are 181,000 and in Canton, China, not less than 10,000. He does not give figures for other countries and islands, but it is estimated that the leper population of the world is but little, if any, short of 1,000,000.
