Nauru: The administrator [of Nauru] reported in 1929 that "Fortunately, the percentage of child patients has in late years been decreasing", but in the same year, when the outbreak was definitely on the wane, the Sydney press belatedly caught up with the situation and heralded a somewhat lurud account of the epidemic with the caption "Plague Spot of Leprosy - Over 300 Cases".

Sungai BulohWhen the new Settlement at Sungai Buloh was officially opened in 1930, it was practically the largest and most modern leprosarium in the British Commonwealth. The Culion Island Settlement in the Philippines with its population of around 6,000, established some 20 years earlier was certainly the largest in the world, but Sungai Buloh was the most impressive because of its scenic setting and its modern buildings and facilities. It was also destined to leave its impress on the leprosy world by becoming in later years a noted center of research. Even as early as the 30s Sungai Buloh was in the news as a center of research when the first notable drug trials with dyes were carried out. Though this search among aniline dyes for an alternative to the hydnocarpus oil then in wide use as the only effective remedy, proved unsuccessful, we may recall here that one of the most effective drugs in use today is clofazimine, which is derived from a rimino-phenazine dye.
