In reference to vour letter No.2960/1922, (forwarded through the Bishop of Victoria), re "The Treat- ment of Leprosy", May I say that chaulmoogra oil has been used in this hospital for many years.

One man, Thomas Wong, treated thirty years ago by the late Dr. Horder (one of the first cases to leave the hospital with arrested leprosy) is a shopkeeper in the tom, and, as far as I know, is still well, and shows no return of the disense.

Injections of chaulmoogra oil have been tried from time to time, the most successful so far being the treatment as advised by Sir Leonard Rogers, I.M.S. The injections and oral treatment have been carried out as advised by him in the enclosed pamphlet.
