The background and predisposing causes of leprosy in Poona district, British India

The subject of leprosy is a large one, and it is not proposed to carry this study of it further at this time. On return to India, the author hopes to continue the study of leprosy in Poona District, and to make an effort to place the control of the disease on a better footing. From study of the land and the people, their habits, their diseases, their mental equipment, their means of subsistence, and the public resources available, some more satisfactory method of control of leprosy may emerge. The present position is in the highest degree unsatisfactory. For thousands of lepers in the District there exists one Leper Asylum and a few clinics, and only some 300 lepers at most are under control.
