Surgeon Cofer reports he n. ceful in- quiries as to the chances of th tion of the clean people working amof iepers and that the general opinlon wa. that in time they would become lepers. In the last ten years only feo clean residents have become lepers. The Board of Health has initiated a new system for preventing the lepers and thelr relatives and friends from embracing and kissing each other by marching the visitors immediately from the steamer landing to a corral with a double fence. The friends are compelled to remain Inside this enclosure and the lepers gather around and talk through | the bars. Visitors are permitted at any time under this system, instead of only once a year as formerly. The results of known exposure to leprosy, says the re- port, show an uncertalnty as to the chances of findividual Infection, which makes the disease one of the most difMcult to operate against.
