Description | It has been established that patients from the German hospital for patients with leprosy, located in a place named Beqaa, outside the city, sometimes leave the hospital and enter the city. The mingling of those patients with the folk not only will lead to hatred, but might also spread the disease. A letter was thus previously presented by our council to the office of mutasarrifate as regards issuing a warning to the hospital directorate via the consulate so as not to permit these patients henceforward to exit the hospital. Even though this matter was notified afterwards to the German consulate, it is stated in the report given by the municipal inspector that the persons in question still enter inside the city and mingle with the folk; it is thus appropriate to re-notify the matter to the German consulate. The 18th of Mârt (1)318 (31th of March 1902). [6 signatures] |
