Description:Excerpt from Damien of Molokai In the days of old, when the Jewish priests were also the medical men of Israel, leprosy was regarded not only as a terrible disease, but as a signal punishment for sin. Loathsome to the senses and repulsive to the sight, it inspired in the multitude a feeling of horror as being a direct manifestation of the wrath of God. It was a tangible sign, like the fire that descended on the Cities of the Plain. To us who review the past in the light of the present it seems more than probable that a considerable number of cases which were then considered leprous belonged in reality to those various skin diseases which are so closely allied with it.
