Abstract
IN NATURE of April 7 I have read with interest the article on Dr. Ashburton Thompson's report on “Leprosy in New South Wales.” In that report Dr. Thompson (one of our foremost authorities) has repeated a statement made in several of his former papers avowing distrust in the doctrine of contagion and in the efficacy of isolation as a preventive measure. In commenting, with surprise, on his opinion, the writer of the article says:— “One would have thought that the success which has attended the practice of isolation in Norway during the past forty years afforded sufficient evidence of its value even to the most sceptical.”
