HAS FAITH IN HIS “CURE'
Only Patient Who Tr.ed Snake Diet
for Leprosy Died, but Doctor
Holds to His Theory.
In p:acticing me«licine for the bene­
fit of the natives I worked out one
theory jn regard to leprosy, which is
a fairly common aliment In the Arch­
ipelago. I asked myself why, since a
snake sheds Its skin, a man who 1-
affllcteil with disease should not be
able to do the same thing.
In Singapore there was a rich Chi-
uese leper, known as <>ug SI Chew,
who asked me repeatedly why I d.d
uot bring him su ae new remedy fo1
ais disease.
Since he bad a large
.tousehold of servants who took care
of him. and his own carriages and
richshas when he traveled, he was
allowed to live untroubled by the a.:
«horitles: but he was very unhappy,
because he hud tried all the re icdie-
of the native doctors end was stead­
ily growing worse.
At la-t 1 toid hint that I hail some­
thing that «night help. He asked me
what it was, but I would not tel! him.
When he Insisted. I answered.
“Snakes.”
"Ul-la!" he exclaimed, waving his
arms In the air.
Then I explained my theory. The
ability of a snake to she 1 his skin
might be transferred to a human be­
ing If he ate snakes»; and if so, the
person would be able to shed his lep­
rosy. Ong SI Chew did not care for
the idea at all. but I told him it was
worth trying and I argued that a snake
is much cleaner than an eel.
At last he consented, and I furnished
him with a number of small pythons,
with the Instructions that they were
to be killed and cleaned immediately
before they were eaten. He was to
eat them raw with Ills rice.
I left Singapore soon after that, nnl
when I reiurned I i’lAind that Ong SI
Chew had died. I’e «pie thought it was
a greet Joke on i.e because my patient
had not survived the treatment, but I
am far from being convinced that th ■
cure will not work—or, at least, help
to throw off leprosy. Ong SI Chew
was in the last s'rges of the disease,
and Ids ca -e was not a fair test. —
