Pictured here [as Case XIV (Photograph 12)] in the late stages of leprosy, original photograph from which this book illustration is derived was taken by Henry L. Chase in 1878 as a part of the 'Report of the Special Sanitary Committee on the State of the Leper Settlement at Kalawao'. Image was published in the The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal in March 1880 as part of a later medical examination by John Harrison Bemiss in 1879. CASE XIV. (Photograph 12). Wm. Crouningberg, aged 46, male, nativity Lahaina; mother Hawaiian, father American, both were healthy. C. healthy from youth up. In 1869 had an anaesthetic spot on right foot. In 1873 one appeared upon face. Went to Honolulu for examination. In 1874 sent to Kalawao. He is covered with salmon-colored spots. Hands afl'ected, fingers off one hand. Skin dry, shrivelled, cracking. Vaccinated a very long time before leprosy appeared. During 4 months used Hoang Nan pills with wonderful effect for amelioration. Looks somewhat different from his appearance when his photograph was taken; now covered with scales, longest finger of right hand gone, both hands sore. The above cases I hope will prove of interest to such of the profession as are giving some attention to this rapidly increasing disease. , They are necessarily more meagre than I could wish to have them, but even those whose histories were taken by a non professional gentleman, illustrate many of the most interest ing symptoms of leprosy, and every little helps to swell the total amount of knowledge possessed of a disease. Committee reports says: Crowningburg, a half-caste. Photograph No. 12. original photograph; between 28 May 1878 and 29 May 1878 book illustration; circa April 1880 . H 392 W
