Witnesses urged the passage of Senator RansdelVs bill ap? propriating $250,000 for a national refuge and hospital for lepers. t>r. Isadore Dyer, New Orleans, In charge of the Louisiana leper colony, declared leprosy was contagious, al? though only mildly so, danger of con? tagion being about 1 to 100 as com? pared with tuberculosis. Dr. Dyer estimated the lepers In Louslana at 300, of whom 105 were in the colony. He said several cures had been effected there. The need of a national leper colony was so great, he said, that the State colony had great difficulty In keeping out patients from other States who moved Into Louisiana In order to be admitted to the home. Dr. Howard Fox, of Polyclinic Hos? pital, New York, said there were 50 to 100 cases In New York city.
