The hospital consisted of a number of cottages, and the ground on which it stood was “surrounded by a high wall, and had only one gate, and that always carefully guarded.” [310] My friend, Dr. Cheyne, lately of San Luis, informs me that the hospital of San Lazaro, in the city of Mexico, is set aside for the reception of cases of tubercular leprosy. [311] As in Ceylon (Marshall’s _Medical Topography of Ceylon_, p. 43); Mauritius (Kinnis in _Edin. Med. and Surg. Journal_, vol. xxii. p. 286); Madagascar (_Narrative of Madagascar Mission_, pp. 208 and 191). I am informed by Dr. Shortt that one of the group of the Sechelle Islands is used as a leper station.
