Leprosy Cure Found By

Fiji Nun

ANEW cure for leprosy has been dis covered by Sister Marie Suzanne, a French nun of the Society of Mary, who has been working for many years at the Makogai leper colony in the Fiji Islands, according to recent reports in Paris newspapers.

She has returned to France to discuss its practicability and marketing with French scientists and experts.

Sister Marie Suzanne found that lepers at Makogai used an oil which they made from special nuts to ease the pain caused by the disease. She experiment ed with it, and produced an ethylic ether which when injected into the patient causes almost instant relief. It is also a cure for rheumatism and for sciatica, it is claimed.

Sister Marie Suzanne is now working with M. Jeanson, a distinguished botan ist, who has devoted himself to the cure of leprosy.
