The Subject Lectured on at a Re
cent Iew York Clinic :
At a clinic held recently'atthe New
York College of Physicians and Sur
geons a leper was presented ior ex
amination' The patient was acneers
f ul-looking mulatto from one of . the
West India Islands. . He snjilinely
submitted to the scrutiny of the stu
dents, many of whom for the first
time beheld a real live leper, Betore
sending the man through the lectures
room tne professor expiainea : mat
leprosy was not contagious in the 6r
idinary sense' of the word, since it
was never contracted by persons not
living or spending a long time y in
some country" iwhere tne disease is
epidemic. It j$ a curious fact, how
ever, that the countries to. which the
affection, is-peuliar are not limited to
thetropies, but that m regions as far
north as Iceland it flourishes through
out the year. ' "
: The unfortunate creatures who,
under the Mosaic la wi were souncer
emoniously ejected from the coramus
nity,J included not only those afflict
ed with leprosy; ; out . also persona
suffering- from many ; - diseases not
now regarded as dangerous or espec
ially repulsive. ; Borne forms of eczes
ma, which -yield readily to medical
treatment and are not communicable
subiected their victim to rigid exclu
sion from the haunts of men.! But
there was a true leprosy , as - terrible
in its. effects;' as the biblical account
implies, - Of the early stpgeof this
malady the man before the class pre
sented an exceiient example.
Me was a mil, well made young
fellow of about 25 years, and seemed
amused by the scientific manner in
which the students examined him as
he circulated .through the room.
Scattered over his limbs and body
were scaly whitish patches, some
what, resembling the integume'nt of
the scalp. These patches, it was exs
plained, were entirely lacking in sens
sibility, and the embryo phyi?ians
amused themselves by sticking pins
Into them to test that point . Bis fin
gers, too, were cramped,'; and could
not be ' extended except by external
force. "After the 'young man been
dismissed the professor said that, al
though he would not think of telling
tlie patient so, the case would probav
