We had eleven new cases of bacillary at the kids’ hospital, and as I doled out the sulfa to the kids, I took twice the dosage for myself. It was heartbreaking to see with what eagerness these poor kids swallowed the pills. They never had to be coaxed to take their medicine. To these poor hungry kids, the medicine was food, another filler to ease hunger pains.
