"Mrs. Hayes has now published an interest- 

 ing little book, entitled 'My Leper Friends,' 

 which contains not only an account of her work 

 in Calcutta, but many facts in regard to leprosy 

 in India whieh deserve to be better known. I 

 feel no hesitation in recommending the book to 

 the attention of my readers." — Truth. 



"The name of Mrs. Hayes is already familiar to readers of the Queen. This 

 lady has been the Miss Marsden of India, for, like the courageous lady who is now 

 traversing the Siberian plains in search of leper hospitals, Mrs. Hayes has devoted 

 her energies with rare unselfishness to the cause of some of the most pitiable 

 sufferers in the world." — The Queen. 



" This is a book that ought to be widely known." — Spectator. 



" Mrs. Hayes is a woman of intense and practical sympathy." — J?och, 



" Mrs. Hayes writes well and vividly, and there is a note of thorough sincerity in 

 all she says that lends an additional charm to the work." — -Home News. 



" Despite the necessarily mournful and repulsive subject of the book, the cheerful 

 and genial spirit in which it is penned, and the native kindliness everywhere visible 

 in its pages, render it refreshing to read." — j\Ior7iijig Advertiser. 



' ' An interesting and most heartrending book. To her Lfper Friends Mrs. 

 Hayes must have been a very angel of light." — Ladies' Pictorial.
