Menstrual Discharge.
This was sent by Dr. Cook from Madras. The first specimen was
from an ansthetic leper, aged 40. It was taken on June 28, and
examined on July 17, 1891. Ten cover-glasses were prepared, and
all gave negative results.
The second specimen was from a patient, aged 19, suffering from
mixed leprosy. It was taken on June 27, and examined on July 17,
1891. Ten cover-glasses showed shreds of epithelium, bacteria, mi-
crococci, but no Leprosy Bacilli.
These results are similar to those obtained from vaginal mucus.
III.-DISTRIBUTION OF THE LEPROSY BACILLUS OUTSIDE THE BODY.
Little is yet known of the natural history of the Leprosy Bacillus
outside the human body. Arning23 claims to have found it in the
(23) Report on Leprosy in Hawaii, 1886.
