Show THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY. Hlflh bacillus was Inocculable with great There were a hundred difficulty. points to show that leprosy and tuberculosis were similar diseases. Stinking fish was undoubtedly associated with leprosy, but only in a very indirect way. Mr. Hutchinson was a very pathetic figure to him. He was some-lik- e Lot's wife, and ought to be a warnto others not to propound more or ing less false theories . Mr. Hutchinson .m reply stated that on all hands in India he was informed that the Jains, who were the only race, were free from leprosy, and that only one case of leprosy was known amongst them. He was convinced it was because they were curing their them was known. He was convinced it was because jthey are now curing their fish better than formerly was the case. In Norway leprosy was decreasing. As to the statement that leprosy existed in districts where no fish was eaten, he would like to be informed of any such district. He had been told before that this was the case, but upon be had invariably found that fish was eeaten by the leprous people. He maintained that the evidence was overwhelming that leprosy arose He was thankful to from Sir Patrick Manson for the analogy he drew between tuderculosls and leprosy. He considered that leprosy was probably a form of tuberculosis. Manches- - Authority Regards It as a Form of Tuberculosis. The Conference of the British Medical association was yesterday resumed nd concluded at Swansea. "Leprosy: pt8 Cause and Its Treatment," was the ubject opened for discussion in the Tropical Diseases Section. Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of London, eald the publis was waiting for the verdict of the medical profession who were responsible for all that was now being done by various governments with reference to leprosy. The government in South Africa was acting on1 the advice of medical men, and at present every leper was being arrested nnd sent away to Roden Island, which was in effect a desolate prison. Personally he washed his hands of Roden Island The evidence against the 'entirely. Contagiousness ofl eprosy was sufficient ly strong to make the medical profession declare that it was a gross injustice to Imprison a man or woman for life because he or she showed signs of Jeprosy. In the course of a long address he advanced the proposition that an overwhelming body of evidence was opposed to the belief that leprosy was spread by any ordinary mode of contagion, sects or wounds; that hereditary transmission as by touch, clothes, the bites of Insects, if it ever occurred, was rare; that communication through eating food contaminated by a leper's hand's occurred occasionally, but was do means frequent; that the facts pointed to leprosy being caused by some article of food: that there was no food which couJd be reasonably suspected, excepting fish; and that the very excessive prevalence of leprosy In certain fishing districts was a fact strongly in favor of the fish hypothesia, its excessive incidents in Roman Catholic countries supporting this conclusion. The report of the Leprosy commission in India, he said might be taken as conclusive on the point that it Is not hereditary. Our experience in England supported this view, and it was proved everywhere that lepers did not have Mr. Hutchinson leperous children. traced leprosy to people who consume decomposed fish, and 6howed that In the leprous asylum at Matunga, In Bombay the Jain people, who' were vegetarians, were not represented at all, and the Hindus and Mussulmans were in far less proportions than the Christians. Dr. Marcus Fernando, of Colombo, opposed the views of Mr. Hutchinson. The Idea that leprosy ran In families, he said was corroborated by the number of instances in which more than one member of a family was a leper. His experience in Ceylon led him to believe that there could be no doubt about leprosy being contagious. He gave an instance in which a leper married and died. His wife contracted leprosy. Respecting the contention that cases of leprosy sprang up where there had been no possibility of contagion, he said his experience showed that people who contracted leporsy kept very quiet the fact that they had been in the company of other lepers. As for the reputed immunity from leprosy of the Jains, these people always refused to go Into asylums. Dr. Fleming Sandwith (Cairo) said be could corroborate fully from his own experience in Egypt that husband and wife did not contract disease one from the other. Mahomet said "Fear a leper as you would a roaring Hon. but Mohametans had forgotten this teaching, and they had today no fear of lepers at all. So far as he knew there was no other theory except the fish theory for the cause of leprosy. Certainly In Erypt there was very much stinking flub eaten, and it was Impossible to get would put the proportion of lepers In Egypt at 4 per 10.000. Dr Sandwich then gave an instance of a boy leper who bad never eaten fish In his life, as an argument against the fish theory. Leprosy he said, was rare In the Soudan, and there fish was aim rare. On the other hand, at one spot Inland wbere there were no rivers and no fish, there were lepers and where the people were to poor to buy fish. Sir Patrick Mannon (London) said Mr. Hutchinson put him In mind of John the Baptist frying the wilderness, lie "confessed he was not one of Mr. Hutchinson's disciples. He wished Mr. Hutchinson had drlt with the subject from the pathological point of view nnd had explained how the bacillus got mto the stinking fish, A better plan to solve the origin of the leprosy bacillus, solve thp cause of leprosy would be to hunt up the origin of leprosy bacillus.
