Book excerpt: Lying in a hospital bed, José P. Ramirez, Jr. (b. 1948) almost lost everything because of a misunderstood disease. When the health department doctor gave him the Handbook for Persons with Leprosy, Ramirez learned his fate. Such a diagnosis in 1968 meant exile and hospitalization in the only leprosarium in the continental United States—Carville, Louisiana, 750 miles from his home in Laredo, Texas. In Squint: My Journey with Leprosy, Ramirez recalls being taken from his family in a hearse and thrown into a world filled with fear. He and his loved ones struggled against the stigma associated with the term “leper” and against beliefs that the disease was a punishment from God, that his illness was highly communicable, and that persons with Hansen's disease had to be banished from their communities. His disease not only meant separation from the girlfriend who would later become his wife, but also a derailment of all life's goals. In his struggle Ramirez overcame barriers both real and imagined and eventually became an international advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities. In Squint, titled for the sliver of a window through which persons with leprosy in medieval times were allowed to view Mass but not participate, Ramirez tells a story of love and perseverance over incredible odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook on Leprosy As chief and medical superintendent of the Robben Island Infirmary, which in addition to its lunatic asylums, has one of the largest leper settlements in the world, I had special opportunities of studying leprosy. In 1892 the Leprosy Repression Act was put into force in the Cape Colony, and a large number of lepers was sent to the island from the various districts of the Cape Colony, and also from some of the neighbouring States. I was struck with the fact that many patients were sent to the island as lepers who were not suffering from the disease. As all medical men have not equal opportunities of becoming practically acquainted with the different forms of leprosy, it occurred to me that if a small handbook, well illustrated with photographs of leper patients in all stages of the disease, were written and presented to the public, it would not only be of assistance to the medical men who have to deal with the cases, but would be of interest to the public generally, especially at a time when the leprosy question is engaging the attention of all classes to such a degree. It is with the humble endeavour to supply these much-felt wants that I have written this handbook. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... to become harder and firmer with age, but, if the varieties above referred to are recognised, the clinical history of leprosy becomes regular and certain. The fibroid degeneration of the nodules is a most interesting fact, and one which will, I believe, yet lead to the adoption of the only method by which leprosy can be cured--that is by the production of fibroid degeneration by appropriate treatment. (b) Ax-esthetic Leprosy. The symptoms of this form of leprosy are not as varied as those of the tubercular, for there are no varieties of anaesthetic leprosy, and each case is exactly like another, except in the severity of the disease, which may, indeed, become arrested in every stage of its existence. The usual prodromata are followed by the erythematous rash, as in tubercular leprosy; but the rash, unlike that of tubercular leprosy, tends towards permanency and enlargement. The spots are due to the poison entering the general circulation and acting upon the terminal branches of the cutaneous nerves, and not, I imagine, to the presence in the skin of the bacilli themselves; though, as might be supposed, these may, after the cutis has become weakened by their virus, actually invade this tissue. Of this, however, I am not prepared to speak with any authority, as I have been unable to satisfy myself on this point. The nerves are at first irritated by the poison, and the spots become sympathetic and painful, but the former are soon more or less disorganised when the latter become gradually anaesthetised. The whole thickness of the skin is affected by the loss of nerve-power, and each of its component parts becomes atrophied, but the most marked visible change in the skin is the absorption of its pigment (see Plates XXIII. and XXIV.). In some...
