    "So far as we know the only attempt at leprosy relief work in Chekiang is carried on near Hangchow by the Church Missionary Society, the expenses of the leprosy relief work being practically all supplied by the Mission to Lepers.
    This work was started in a small way in 1887 when Dr Main, who at that time was Medical Superintendent of the CMS Hospital, admitted a few with leprosy into the private wards in the Men's Hospital."

    1920 Hangchow Leper HospitalFrom 1920 to the beginning of 1930, Dr Dansey Smith was stationed in Hangchow, and it is largely through his efforts that the treatment of leprosy in Hangchow has been put on a scientific basis. He tried a number of different preparations and had quite a number of those affected with the disease being given regular injections when the writers of this article took over that part of the work from him in 1923.
