"[Partial caption] experience was also written up by Dr. W.W. Peter and appears in the materials I had printed for Daddy's grandchildren some years ago. The title of the article by Dr. Peter was "DOCTOR SUCCEEDED NEVERTHELESS." (Jon has a complete copy of these articles). Note: The one and one-half tons of sterile saline solution used during the epidemic was all made in the improvised "still" in the foreground. Daddy was always very proud to tell how one of the hospital coolies, a relative of Dr. Bao's, invented the still, using 2 enormous "woks", to distill the water needed for the injections." Hospital staff and volunteers stand outside the the Changteh Hospital displaying the apparatus used during the Changteh [now Changde] cholera epidemic. Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
