'In 1922, I began the treatment of lepers. At first, I made intramuscular injections with oil chaulmoogra and oil camphor, afterwards with the ethylesters of the fatty acids of chaulmoogra oil. In general these injections were painful. Later on we used 'Sodium hydnocarpate,' prepared at Calcutta and injected intravenously. Afterwards we treated the lepers with mixed ethyl esters of chaulmoogra oil. We use this prepation still; it is prepared by the Peking Union Medical College, and we are very thankful to the Mission to Lepers, that we may get it free of charges.'

'The Tungkun Leper Asylum is under the control of the Rhenish Mission which, as the Roman Catholic Mission [running the leprosy asylum at Sheklung], is also getting the support from the Canton government to the amount of $500 a month. There were approximately three hundred lepers, both male and female, in that asylum. It is being run on a much smaller scale than Sheklung, and it is not so well developed as the other. The chaulmoogra oil treatment was also denied to the lepers for the same reason that Father Deswazieres gave. [i.e. "no money"]. In addition to this great disappointment we saw several perfectly normal boys and girls living together with their leprous parents in wards full of abominable air and terrible human beings. It did not seem to us to be right. We realize the difficulty in separating the children from their leprous parents, but in order to save young lives we have to be rigid in this matter. We earnestly hope that the authorities of the Tungkun Asylum will see this point and remedy the situation.'

"Long before the establishment of our Leper Home in 1905 there were a great many of the poor lepers dwelling in small and unspeakable filthy huts near the South Gate of the city. The lepers received daily from the magistrate 7 or 14 small cash
