recommended by dr stanley thomas professor of bacteriology as an ideal place to spend a summer vacation dr thomas spent two months there this summer on a trip that combined pleasure with business in that he was able to observe conditions in the hawaiian leper colonies where the u s public health service is doing valuable work combatting that disease dr thomas was very enthusiastic about the climate and scenery of the islands but he seemed most will ing to talk about the leper colonies most doctors in the united states live their whole lives without see ing a case of this particularly loathesome disease ac cording to dr thomas leprosy seems to be confined chiefly to oriental peoples or those who live on a vegetable diet the malady is rare in the united states where the diet contains more protein although there is one col ony in lousiana there are two leper colonies on the hawaiian island of oahu and about 300 hundred pa tients are segregated there it is interesting to note that in this number there is not a single white person the public health service has no easy time segre gating the lepers in these colonies the natives do not want to be shut up and they never give them selves up voluntarily if they know they have the dis ease if the directors of the colonies did not have the power of the government behind them they would probably have few recruits the lepers are usually discovered accidentally when they come to be treat ed for some other sickness concerning the disease itself dr thomas said that its symptoms closely resemble a combination of syph ilis and tuberculosis the only successful treatment seems to be plenty of fresh meat and air as in the case of tuberculosis leprosy is not so contagious as is commonly supposed records show that even the children of leprous parents have not contracted it dr thomas also visited captain clay who was for merly a member of the military department at lehigh and who is now stationed at the schofield army bar racks in hawaii taking the entire trip by sea dr thomas was in havana during the recent political disturbances but the passengers on his ship were not allowed to land will describe research

the business meeting hawaii is strongly recommended by dr stanley thomas professor of bacteriology as an ideal place to spend a summer vacation dr thomas spent two months there this summer on a trip that combined pleasure with business in that he was able to observe conditions in the hawaiian leper colonies where the u s public health service is doing valuable work combatting that disease dr thomas was very enthusiastic about the climate and scenery of the islands but he seemed most will ing to talk about the leper colonies most doctors in the united states live their whole lives without see ing a case of this particularly loathesome disease ac cording to dr thomas leprosy seems to be confined chiefly to oriental peoples or those who live on a vegetable diet the malady is rare in the united states where the diet contains more protein although there is one col ony in lousiana there are two leper colonies on the hawaiian island of oahu and about 300 hundred pa tients are segregated there it is interesting to note that in this number there is not a single white person the public health service has no easy time segre gating the lepers in these colonies the natives do not want to be shut up and they never give them selves up voluntarily if they know they have the dis ease if the directors of the colonies did not have the power of the government behind them they would probably have few recruits the lepers are usually discovered accidentally when they come to be treat ed for some other sickness concerning the disease itself dr thomas said that its symptoms closely resemble a combination of syph ilis and tuberculosis the only successful treatment seems to be plenty of fresh meat and air as in the case of tuberculosis leprosy is not so contagious as is commonly supposed records show that even the children of leprous parents have not contracted it dr thomas also visited captain clay who was for merly a member of the military department at lehigh and who is now stationed at the schofield army bar racks in hawaii taking the entire trip by sea dr thomas was in havana during the recent political disturbances but the passengers on his ship were not allowed to
