DR. RAZLAG, AND HIS LEPERS. Dr. Razlag has had four lepars under treat ment for about four weeks. All have been wonderfully helped. The doctor thinks he has demonstrated that his method of treatment is effective and that cures can be made. The doctor intended to start his work in the Philip- pines at Santo Cruz. A large lot was pur- chased and work began. Some opposition developed and Dr. Razlag came to Canton to look over the field. About foxy man have been at work on the Santo Cruz property and the doctor will leave Canton in a few days and return to the Philippines to dispose of his property.
