YOUNG WOMAN CONTRACTS DISEASE' (Australian Press Association.) (Rec. February 26, 7.30 p.m.) Paris, February 25. A young wife contracted leprosy as the result of wearing a new fur coat, the gift of her husband. The wife first complained of irritation in the neck, and then of small spots. The doctor was unable to cure her, and finally a blood test showed leprosy. Inquiries showed that the fur was imported from Russia.
