BUIEF REMARKS On ''The Report" laid before the Government of Nexc-Brwisxvkk by the Medical Commission appointed bij the Lieiitcna?it Governor to i?ivestigate the nature , causes, S^c. of a disease termed Leprosy, prevailing in certain French Settlements in that Province, border- ing on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. By Alexander Boyle, M, D, A REPRESENTATION haviiig been made to the Lieutenant C.overnor of New- Brunswick, that a disease of a highly malignant and loathsome nature, receiv- ing the name of Z,f/>/-osy,had been discovered among the inhabitants of certain French settlements in the Counties of Gloucester and Northumberland, in that Province ; a Commission, composed of four Medical Gentlemen and the French Clergyman residing in that district, was appointed for the purpose of investigating its nature and causes; and suggesting such measures as might be judged necessary for its prevention— The Commission entered on this enquiry in 3Iarch last, and the result is now before the public; and a sum of £1000 has been granted by the Provincial Legislature, to enable the Government to carry into effect the measures proposed. As they have " unanimously recommended the erection of a Lazaretto, «' the removal of the sick, and their strict seclusion in that establishment," as means necessary to guard against the extension of this malady, which they consider as not only hereditary, but contagious; I have been induced to exa- mine some of the more prominent facts which they have brought forward in support of this opinion ; with the view of determining how far it is expedient, on this occasion, and on the grounds exhibited, to have recourse to mea- sures involving extreme hardship on individuals, and not devoid of in- jury to society, and which ought never to be adopted under the sanction of causes which admit of doubt ;— and with what probability of success those measures are calculated to accomplish the end proposed. It may, in the first place, be observed, that much confusion has ueen introduced into medical writings, inconsequence of doubts respecting the disease to which the name of Lepromj, more properly belongs ; arising, as is supposed, from the inaccuracies of the translations of the Greek and Arabian authors who treat of this subject, and who have somrtimes de- f~ scribed, under the same title, three different aflectio us, very dist met in r 1 2 !3 character, namely, the Hebrew Leprosy, a scalv disease ; the Elephant or Barbadoes leg; and the "Tubercular" disease, now under conside- ration. It is, however, at present unnecessary to enter farther upon this subject, as the disease in question must be viewed under the aspect presented to us by the cases given in the " Report," where it is classed under this last denomination : and, as observations of modem date have removed much of the perplexity by which it was obscured, there is less difficulty in assigning to each its proper place in nosological nomencla- ture. The facts collected, and which form the subject of the official docu- ment, are interesting ; and the cases are detailed with a degree of accu- racy and clearness, leaving no doubt as to the existence of a disease which has all the characteristic symptoms of the " Tubercular Elephan- tiasis " of modern nosologists, the " Juzam " of the Arabians, and the " Lepra Groecorum " of the middle ages, by which its identity is fully established, and which, therefore, need not now be repeated. It is stated in the «' Report," that » no positive conclusion could be drawn as to its original appearance in this quarter ;" but, that, according to the information that was received from the oldest settlers, the first case occurred in the person of Ursule Laudre, about the year 1817, nineteen years after her marriage with Joseph Benoit, of Tracadie, a small French settlement situated in a part of this Province, bordering on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and where she went to reside after her marriage. Her father, mother, and their children, nineteen in number, appear, with the exception of Ursule alone, to have been perfectly healthy. She was mar- ried about the year 1798 or 1799, and having been affected ten years before her husband, (for, it appears, he also became affected with it,) it would be absurd to suppose that she possibly could have received the infection from him; neither can we suppose that he could have contracted It Irom her, for he continued free from it until three years before her death, which happened in 1829; a period of twenty-six years after their niarnage, and of his having lived with her about ten years after she had shewn all its unequivocal symptoms. After the birth of her fifth child Ursule ceased to bear children; and it is stated that, from that time, her hea th continued to decline for six or eight years, when the disease was no longer doubtful. Upon the whole, other facts stated in the "Report" are not more favorable to the existence of contagion as a cause of this disease, than those already mentioned ; for, it is not shewn from whom Ursule received \^ ^ 7514 ^ ^ the infection, nor is it proved that she communicated the disease to any one, either by direct contact or through the medium of substances im- bued with a contagious principle. There is, indeed, no sort of analogy, as far as those facts go, between this disease and those of a contagious nature; in most of which, we can, almost, as it were, detect the contagion m Its passage ; and it is only by analogy we can reason on the subject. The latent period in contagious diseases is never long— being only two or three days, sometimes less, and seldom exceeding three weeks ; whereas, in the present instance, several years of continued intercourse intervened from the firsi communication with the infected person to the time of its appearance in the individual exposed. As it is admitted by all that " Tubercular Elephantiasis," or the Greek Leprosy, as it is sometimes called, is an hereditary disease, and, like Scro- fula, may pass one generation and appear in the next, when concurring causes favour its development ; the taint in one of the nineteen children of Laudre pere (Ursule) may have been derived from a source to which, at this distance of time, it cannot, perhaps, be traced ; and the case of the only one of her five children who was affected, must be referred to the same category- while the exemption of the other four, though living in continual intercourse! completely overturns the doctrine of contagion, and is in perfect analogy with the facts observed in Scrofula and other diseases which are transmitted from parents to their posterity, affecting some and sparing others, according to circumstances not often very evident or easily explained. The case of Frances Savoy is not less decisive. She has a family of six children, and only one, a boy of eight years of age, is affected. She herself has had the disease four years and a half, in a severe form ; " her husband sleeps with her every night, and is in perfect health." P. Savoy's case is a se- vere one. He has a wife and four children, but all of them are apparently healthy. The case of T. Robicheau bears equally on the same point. He IS about fifteen years of age, and has been affected six years ; and his uncle was recently carried off by it ; marking, decidedly, hertditarv transmission in that family. It must, indeed, attract particular notice, as a singular feature in the •* Report," that, as regards Contagion, so many of the facts related mili- tate strongly against the conclusion which has been deduced from them, on this important question. The affected district is situated between the Bay of Chaleur and Mi- ramichi River, and the intercourse between it and Canada, Prince Ed- ward Island, IVova Scotia, and the adjoining Coiiniits uf New Bntnswlck 7515 anterior ,„ .u7; 1" !f " -'"T ^T "'""^ "'" ""'^ ''""" "' ° •'■'«= poar, boon pmpar.? t an" ' .h': ''""•'' ',' '?''

Heb.vdcD, Ain.ley. 7bl8 In the course of the ahove remarks, I have purposely abstained from all opinions respecting the operation of contagious miasmata, or the manner of their introduction into the blood, as foreign to the object of the present en- quiry ; and as chemistry has, hitherto, thrown but feeble light on the nature of their elementary constituents, or the changes they eflect on the circulat- ing fluids. Several important organs undergo a morbid alteration of structure dur- ing the progress of this disease ; but, as its pathology is unconnected with the question at issue, it need not now engage our attention. It is generally admitted that Pulmonary Consumption is, according to the common acceptation of the term, an hereditary disease, usually developed by the action of exciting causes. In some countries, it is also deemed con- tagious ; and the houses which have been occupied by persons who die of this coniplauit, are always left deserted. In New-Brunswick, its occurrence 18 very frequent; and, though not deemed contagious, it may certainly be pronounced incurable. So far, the parallel between it and Leprosy is strictly correct ; but surely, it would not be recommended that those persons labour- ing under Pulmonary Consumption throughout the Province should be torn from their families, and left to die in a Lazaretto ; nor can it be imagined that any such measure would be proposed to prevent the continuance of so great a scourge of the human race; as it is sufficiently evident, how fruit- less the attempt must be, by the removal of a (ew, to arrest the progress of a disease whose germ, unhappily, is but too widely spread among mankind, and whose extinction is beyond the reach of legislative power. During the prevalence of the Asiatic Cholera in Europe, erroneous opinions regarding its contagious character led to the adoption of similar measures of prevention ; hut experience has since taught us how useless and unnecessary they were, ; u : how injurious to the interests of society ; and the novelty of the disease among us, and its still inexplicable nature, afford the only vindication of the course pursued during that period of gene- ral consternation. In no part of Europe was Leprosy so prevalent at one time as m France, from the eleventh to the sixteenth century. It is now chiefly confined to the tropical and equatorial regions, being rarely met with in Europe since the seventeenth century; and the advanced and more refined state of society accounts for its gradual disappearance ; while great- er experience has banished all dread of its supposed contagion, and opened their noble hospitals to the admission of Lepers, without distinction, among other patients; and numerous Lazarettos of great extent have long been converted into retreats for the aged and infirm, or like purposes of general puilantnrupy and benevolence. s I nnsi it Hill appo.-.r, from ulinf f |,avp vnM ^..,1 .1 ... .-r.T.e<l t,., that anv .....«,„•.« of pn-v,' , n v 'Vl """'?'"""'
