| 1914 | St Giles Home for British LepersSt Giles Home for British Lepers was founded. (There is evidence to suggest that the site had a long historical association with insitutional care of persons with leprosy, possibly dating back as far as the 12th century. See description on the Essex County Council website, and 'Hospitals: Little Maldon', A History of the County of Essex: Volume 2 (1907), pp. 188-90. However, according to the account given in a leaflet, 'Hospital and Homes of St. Giles', this association was purely coincidental.) [Leprosarium] [United Kingdom] |

| 1915 | In Rio de Janeiro, the Medical Society called together a committee for leprosy control (Comissão de Profilaxia da Lepra), which was composed of various delegates, including Adolfo Lutz. However, the debate centred around transmission, which sidelined the question of control. (Campos Melo, L. 'A luta contra a lepra no Distrito Federal'. Folha Médica. Rio de Janeiro, 1937.

| 1915 | "In 1915, he [Sir Leonard Rogers] obtained a soluble sodium salt of these fractions of the oils [Indian Chaulmoogra and Hydnocarpus oils] suitable for use by injection, and very soon found them to be much more effective in early cases than in advanced ones. In 1917 he was able to record and illustrate that 50 per cent of cases of not more than three years' duration, and 25 per cent of those of longer duration, had been cleared of symptoms and were no longer infective. By 1920, of 51 cases so treated, 40 per cent had cleared up, another 40 per cent had greatly improved, and in only one very advanced case had the disease progressed. In the meantime Dr. E. Muir and others had confirmed the value of the new method of injecting the most active products of the Indian oils, and in 1919 two American observers in Hawaii confirmed the Calcutta results and introduced a slightly different chemical compound (ethyl ester) of the chaulmoogra fatty acids which was suitable for injection but more costly to prepare. Later, Dr. E. Muir found that pure fresh hydnocarpus oil could be injected with an antiseptic, and the sodium salts of the fractions used by the writer were prepared, under the name of Alepol, by Burroughs, Wellcome & Co., whose chemists had made the original analyses of the Indian oils. The last two preparations are so cheap that a sufficient amount for treating a case for a year costs only 5s."
