With regard to leprosy Dr. W. C

In the course of the discussion
which followed. Dr. J. N. Hurley de
clared that in 1903 th.-re were sixty
registered lepers in Louisiana, but
that it was generally known that th. ro
were at least one hundred and fifty
lepers In the state.
The conference was a unit In sup
