FRENCH GABON. (Now known as Gabon). Lambarene. Dr Albert Schweitzer. The work Dr. Schweitzer has done for lepers has made medical history. His leper village of 200 patients is located a short distance from the main hospital. New drugs, Diason and Promin, have produced remarkable cures but those with advanced stages of the disease are permanently diseased and crippled. A young Swiss nurse, Trudi Bochsler, works entirely with the lepers. In a short space of time she learnt most of their names and picked up their native dialects. 1951
