The ostensible topic of discussion is a crashed airman who is on the verge of death...
...chemical was showing promise in treating tuberculosis, they got an eye-opener. The drug had passed the promising stage, had shown impressive results over a two-year period in the treatment of 7,000 patients. And behind its discovery and development was the potent name of Professor Gerhard Domagk, 54, who won fame-and a 1939 Nobel Prize, which the Nazis would not let him take-as top man in perfecting the sulfa drugs...
