Excerpt from American Practice of Surgery, Vol. 2 of 8: A Complete System of the Science and Art of Surgery, by Representative Surgeons of the United States and Canada
Leprosy still exists extensively in Mexico. Scattered cases are found here and there among the Gulf States, and it is seen on the Pacific coast in the persons of Chinese and Hawaiian immigrants. Isolated cases are encountered from time to time in all the seaboard cities. Many Norwegian lepers settled in our North western States, but the disease has never shown a tendency to spread there and is rapidly dying out. Leprosy in Louisiana appears to have been introduced either by Acadian immigration in 1758 or, as in the case of Tracadie, directly from northern France, where the disease has not yet entirely died out.
