Tell Senate Committee.
Washington, Feb. 16.?Physicians
told the senate public health commit?
tee today that there wero many hun?
dreds of cases of leprosy In the United
States and that the disease was on
the increase. 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.
