face, and other parts of the body. The skin of the legs becomes 
dry and scaly, suggesting ichthyosis. Single ulcers break out 
on the legs and the feet, which are chronic and difficult to heal. 
Anesthesia may be noticed in connection with other lesions, 
but occasionally this is about the only definite sign of leprosy 
present, the patient being bacteriologically negative and showing 
neither thickening of the superficial nerves nor other physical 
appearance indicative of trophic disturbances. 
The development of leprosy is suggested by the type of lesions 
that appear in children, according to their age, as shown in 
Table 3.

Table 3 has been arranged according to the correlative age of 
the children, and the types of lesions are listed in the order of 
their appearance as far as could be ascertained. It shows that 
the majority of the younger children, while bacteriologically 
positive in the skin, are negative in the nose; also that, as a 
general rule, the younger children show only macular lesions 
and, as the children grow older, infiltrations, anzesthesia, and
