AmbohipiantranaEn 1904, le nombre des malades s’élevait à 926. On comptait cent vingt quatre maisons d’habitation et, au total, 131 bâtiments. Les hospitalisés sont actuellement environ 300. Un orphelinant-pouponnière fut joint à la léproserie. Le Docteur Ebbell, qui en avait la charge, estimait, en effet, qu’il était humain et conforme à la loi divine de laisser cohabiter les époux lépreux, à la condition de recueillir les enfants nouveau-nés et de les élever dans un milieu à part, afin de les soustraire à la contagion. Toutes les léproseries se quelque importance ont maintenant leur pouponnière. (G S Chapus, Antsirabe, Passé, Présent, Avenir , (Tananarive: Imprimerie Lutherienne, 1951)[Leprosarium][Madagascar]

"The only treatment that was believed to exert some beneficial effect was the oral use of the ancient Indian Chaulmoogra and Hydnocarpus oils, but they were so nauseating that patients generally were unable to take sufficient doses. In 1904 to 1907, however, British chemists showed that the two Indian oils both contained a series of closed-ring fatty acids with different melting points, and in 1912 the writer found that the fatty acids with the lower melting point were less nauseating and more effective if separated from the oil than if the oil were taken in the crude form."
