AID FOR LEPERS “Leprosy is not an incurable disease,” said the Rev. F. A. Thompson, Dominion Secretary, in an interview to-day. “It is possible to heal all early cases, that is, those who have not had this disease for more ■ than four or five years, and for whom these is room in hospital and funds in the treasury. We can also heal 30 per cent, of advanced cases, and by adopting the children of leprous parents when six months old save them from the sufferings of their parents. The Mission supoorts about 18,300 adult lepers, 600 tainted and 900 healthy children in their hosoitals, homes and colonies. This work is carried on in 25 countries and with the co-operation of 37 Protestant churches and missions. The great effect of the discovery of chalmoogra oil has had on the increased number of cured lepers was emphasised by Mr Thompson. Contrary to popular belief, he mentioned that many were being cured each year, and that tracts of land of 15 acres were given by the governments in India and Africa for settlement by symptom-, free patients. The products of four; acres and a cow are sufficient to support a wife and two children. A leper ■ could be fed for 4d a day, and a leper; patient can be treated and healed for, the small sum of £5 a year.
