numbers in the leper asylums which exist in several places in the Province. Yet,
from the number of helpless lepers who may be found begging in public throughout
the Province, it seems probable that the asylum accomodation is insufficient, or the
asylum management disagreeable.
And, 2nd, that any measure of sequestration of lepers, with a view to the
eradication of the disease, such as I understand is in force in Norway, is not likely
to attain its objects here, seeing that in the great majority of cases the disease has
been transmitted to the coming generation before any accurate knowledge of its
existence in men now living can be attained to. For I do not suppose it possible
to sequestrate an apparently heathly man because his grandfather or father had
been lepers.
