Leprosy On The Increase In America, But It Can Be Fought With New Drugs
Chicago—(UP)—A medical specialist says leprosy sufferers are increasing in the United States, but that leprosy can be fought effectively with new drugs.
The specialist, Dr. Robert G. Cochrane, head of the London office of The American Mission to Leperis, said service men who were in the tropics during the war accounted for most of the new cases of the disease.
But he said public understanding of leacrasy and its problems is vital.
"If there were an adequate understanding of the disease, people would become less hysterical," he said. "When a man suffering from leprosy was cured, his neighbors would take him back into the community as they should."
He said that victims of the disease usually are hounded from their homes by frightened neighbors.
"Yet a leper might walk down the streets or sit next to anyone in a movie without infecting him," Cochrane said.

when you smoke PHILIP MORRIS!
All over America scores of smokers who changed to PHILIP MORRIS have written entirely unsolicited to tell us they now enjoy a milder smoke, a fresher, cleaner smoke than they've ever known before.
And for a good reason because PHILIP MORRIS is the ONE, the ONLY leading cigarette recognized by eminent nose and throat specialists as definitely less irritating.
NO OTHER CIGARETTE CAN MAKE THAT STATEMENT!
