Synopsis
Excerpt from The Path of the Destroyer: A History of Leprosy in the Hawaiian Islands and Thirty Years Research Into the Means by Which It Has Been Spread
The Hawaiians are a very affable, agreeable and lovable peo ple, just as much so as any other on our earth; but in contact with disease, all their desirable traits are seriously discounted by their lack of care, because they endanger all of us by failing to obey the most simple rules of health, necessary for their own salvation and self-preservation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of leprosy in the Hawaiian Islands. It examines the disease's origins, the efforts to understand and contain its spread, and the social and cultural impact it had on the Hawaiian people. The author meticulously traces the earliest recorded instances of leprosy, drawing upon accounts from missionary physicians and historical records. The book explores the debate over whether leprosy was introduced to the islands by the Chinese, or whether it emerged from a latent form within the indigenous population. It goes on to analyze the methods used to segregate and treat lepers, from the first official legislation in the 19th century to the development of dedicated hospitals and settlements. The author also presents his own theories about the transmission of the disease, challenging prevailing ideas about inoculation and highlighting the role of oral hygiene. By weaving together historical context, medical observations, and personal accounts, this book offers a unique and compelling perspective on the devastating impact of leprosy on the Hawaiian Islands and the challenges faced by those who sought to understand and contain it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
