Grow Tree Called
Chaulmoogra in
U. S. for Leprosy Cases
Washington, July 1_’0.—Introduc
tion in the United States of the
chaulmoogra tree to assure a per
manent supply of the oil for the
treatment of leprosy is planned as a
result of a trip through Siam, Bur
ma and Assam by Prof. J. F. Hock,
formerly of the University of Hawaii.
Prof. Pock has just returned to
Washington after an extensive ex
ploration into the jungles for the
Department of Agriculture's branch
of foreign seed and plant introduc
tion. He brought back with him sev
eral specimens of the "taraktogenos”
tree, the seeds of which have been
sent to various experiment stations
of the department in Florida. Mary
land and California for germination.
Within eight years, it is believed,
enough fruit will be borne from
these plants to initiate a domestic
source of supply of chaulmoogra oil.
With the possible exception of a
man named Kerr, an amateur botan
ist. Prof. Rock is said to be the first
white man to invade the region of
Siam where he obtained his speci
mens. Natives of that country for
many years had visited the tarakto
genos forests to obtain enough of th«*
oil to meet their domestic need's, but
they made these trips only every
three years for figir^of the beasts
that inhabit the wild country.
While chaulmoogra oil has been
used scientifically for only a few
years. Prof. Hock says the natives
of that part of Asia which he visited
have been using the curative proper
ties of the taraktogenos tree for
hundreds of years, hut in such a
crude way as to be unable to derive
its complete benefits.
"In the Buddhist histories that
date back 1000 years there are men
tions of this tree,” Prof. Hock point
ed out, adding that “the crude oil of
the tree was taken internally by the
natives and the legends say it was
effective.”
It was not until 1W>0 that the ac
tive principles ■of the oil from the
