Speaker 1: The Shenley Laboratories, producer of Penicil and Shenley and Shenley
Speaker 1: Pharmaceuticals presents yon Core theaterre yon Core Theater Play to Night,
Speaker 1: yellow Jack. Our star is Ronald Coleman.
Speaker 2: To Night, Shenley.
Speaker 1: Laboratories presents another and a new series of great dramatic programs.
Speaker 1: Some of our stories are fact the struggles and accomplishments
Speaker 1: of great men of medicine. Others are fiction stories of
Speaker 1: devotion to an ideal individual, heroism, or great courage. By
Speaker 1: these programs, Shenley Laboratories would remind you that medical science
Speaker 1: and progress is not cold in personal research or pages
Speaker 1: of statistics, but of human story told in living turns,
Speaker 1: whether it's the life of one of medicine's immortals or
Speaker 1: the simple everyday record of service rendered by your family physician.
Speaker 1: Now Ronald Coleman brings you the story of Yellowjack, Cuba.
Speaker 3: Late July nineteen hundred. The land was rich and mellow.
Speaker 3: It shimmered radiantly in the hot sunlight. The land was
Speaker 3: a verdant eden, gaudy with color, with everything ripe to
Speaker 3: the tongue and the touch. The land was a thing
Speaker 3: of gentle hills, kneeling around quiet valleys and dense jungles.
Speaker 3: It was cliffs and bluffs that bent down to see
Speaker 3: who was coming. In the harbors, the land was beeches
Speaker 3: and banks, and the blue water curled its white toes
Speaker 3: on the beeches, coveting the land water the transparent aqua
Speaker 3: home of the eel, the shark, the manatee. Cuba Late
Speaker 3: July Paradise and Paradox, where the monkey was king of
Speaker 3: the jungle, and the tortoise subjects where beauty walked in
Speaker 3: Seltry's splendor, dripping venomed honey Cuba, where man was an
Speaker 3: inconsequential thing measured against the mosquito. Those American doctors and
Speaker 3: scientists didn't know they were pitting themselves against the mosquito
Speaker 3: at first, although they had a name for their enemy,
Speaker 3: and the name was yellow Jack.
Speaker 4: And the.
Speaker 3: Heroes are men from humble towns with humble names like O'Hara, McLellan,
Speaker 3: Brinkahaff Finley. There's usually nothing to distinguish them, nothing but
Speaker 3: that inner fire that manifests itself in the quickness of
Speaker 3: their hands and the brightness of their eyes. Their names
Speaker 3: are names like Lazir and Carol and Agramanty and Reid,
Speaker 3: and their names are.
Speaker 5: Legion Major Reid. There is a message here from General
Speaker 5: Woods Headquarters. What is it, Agramaty, the Army death list
Speaker 5: brought up to date?
Speaker 6: Sir, thank you Agrammaty. I can't stand much more of this.
Speaker 6: I look out there over the sea and I watch
Speaker 6: our transports steaming home, and I don't even dare think
Speaker 6: what they may be carrying home. We've taken Cuba with
Speaker 6: his awful things smoldering in it, waiting for fresh American fuel,
Speaker 6: waiting for its chance to jump over home to Philadelphia,
Speaker 6: New Orleans.
Speaker 5: It is not an agreeable condition from my point of
Speaker 5: view either.
Speaker 3: Doctor.
Speaker 5: I am Cuban born.
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to offend you, agrammat But you and
Speaker 6: Carol and Lazi and I we were sent down to
Speaker 6: stop this horror, to isolate a microbe and find a cue,
Speaker 6: and we failed, failed miserably. It isn't easy to admit then.
Speaker 5: No, I know, doctor, but it is not from lack
Speaker 5: of trying.
Speaker 6: If we could only think of some fresh angle.
Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, I ran into one puzzler at Pina.
Speaker 6: I've had enough puzzlers I can't solve. Ah.
Speaker 3: Yes, enough puzzlers. But this is a funny case. This
Speaker 3: one is worth listening to. The case of a soldier
Speaker 3: sick twelve July, dead eighteen July.
Speaker 6: Nothing so unusual about that.
Speaker 5: Oh, but there is that soldier had not been exposed,
Speaker 5: He had not been near the disease for over a
Speaker 5: month before he took sick.
Speaker 3: What was that? There? It is there's the first clue.
Speaker 3: A soldier sick July the twelfth, dead on the eighteenth,
Speaker 3: A soldier who had been in the guard house a
Speaker 3: month before he took sick, and who lay in that
Speaker 3: guard house for three days with eight other prisoners, and
Speaker 3: not one of them caught it, even the one who
Speaker 3: slept in his blankets after he died. There's something to
Speaker 3: think about. There's a thought worth some contemplation. How about
Speaker 3: contaminated food or water? Agrimonty the whole out fit ate
Speaker 3: and drank the same. The other eight may have been
Speaker 3: a mule.
Speaker 5: Records do not show it. One came from Iowa, one
Speaker 5: from Maine, to from Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: M He may have been extra susceptible.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe not, maybe.
Speaker 3: Not think hard, measure read think hard. What was it
Speaker 3: crawled or jumped or flew through that godhouse? Window, bit
Speaker 3: that one prisoner and went back where it came from.
Speaker 3: How does yellow fever spread?
Speaker 2: Major Reed?
Speaker 3: How does it go from man to man, and village
Speaker 3: to village and even across the sea? Saint? Remember Smith's
Speaker 3: Texas fever tick? Remember Bruce and that SETSI fly in Africa.
Speaker 3: Remember that Russ and Grassy have just nailed malaria to
Speaker 3: a mosquito. Mosquitoes, think hard, Major Read History is holding
Speaker 3: her breath while you ponder the mosquito a GRAMMATI.
Speaker 6: Wasn't there a doctor Finley who had a theory about
Speaker 6: the mosquito and yellowjack?
Speaker 5: Yes, but it was never credited, and he's never able
Speaker 5: to prove his theories.
Speaker 3: Is he still here?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 6: Call doctor Carroll and doctor Lazier, and let us call
Speaker 6: on doctor Finley.
Speaker 3: How simple a stage is sometimes set for great moments
Speaker 3: A Cuban afternoon, hot and breathless and sleeping. No drama here,
Speaker 3: no sound of drums or trumpets, no auditory, Only four
Speaker 3: young doctors walking along a dusty street, but walking the
Speaker 3: threshold of discovery.
Speaker 5: Have the honor of Major Reid to present my colleague,
Speaker 5: doctor Finley, for these years a distinguished leader of our profession.
Speaker 5: Here in Havana, Doctor Finley, this is doctor Lazier. How
Speaker 5: do you do s Doctor Carricter, how.
Speaker 6: Do you do Doctor Finley? We've come to ask of
Speaker 6: you your knowledge of your yellow fever mosquito.
Speaker 5: And a specimen of the mosquito herself, as many specimens
Speaker 5: as you can spare.
Speaker 2: You are stern me, gentlemen. For nineteen years science has
Speaker 2: laughed at me, at the cracked Al Finley and his mosquitoes.
Speaker 2: I have no impulse to share my secret.
Speaker 6: And no one's laughing now, doctor Finley. We want to
Speaker 6: work with you.
Speaker 2: You believe in my discovery, Doctor.
Speaker 6: Reid, Yes, I do believe in it, don't you see?
Speaker 6: Doctor Finley, We're what you've been waiting for. We're going
Speaker 6: to save your discovery and pull the whole fraternity of
Speaker 6: science in the line. All we need is one demonstration
Speaker 6: and we can prove the whole theory.
Speaker 3: Proof. Aye, there's the run. Some truths have to bide
Speaker 3: their time and wait for the world to catch up
Speaker 3: with them. This needs courage and ruthlessness. You can't test
Speaker 3: Finley's mosquitos without risking life.
Speaker 2: You cannot ask me to believe that you will be
Speaker 2: allowed to experiment on your soul.
Speaker 6: No, we'll let the soldiers wait. We start this off
Speaker 6: with ourselves.
Speaker 7: You, gentlemen, the four of us, only three Agrimati's had yellowjacket.
Speaker 2: No, your member of science, your lives are valuable.
Speaker 6: Is any man's life worth more than the cause? He
Speaker 6: risks it on?
Speaker 2: Made you read, all of you, your brave men. Hommy,
Speaker 2: I serve.
Speaker 5: You give us the mosquito eggs dot.
Speaker 2: When I give them into your hands, I give you
Speaker 2: nineteen years of my life. But I do it gladly.
Speaker 6: There it is. They're in a bowl before you.
Speaker 3: You've wanted to raise the water in that dish, and
Speaker 3: those eggs will hatch the criminal. Beware of her. She
Speaker 3: isn't a wild marsh mosquito. She's your domestic pep. She
Speaker 3: shares your home with you, takes her siesta under your eaves,
Speaker 3: raises her family in your patio fountain, and rewards your
Speaker 3: hospitality with death.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, you hold the key to yellow fever in your hands.
Speaker 2: I pray for your sake and all humanity, that you
Speaker 2: may turn the luck I fail to turn.
Speaker 1: Discussion, speculation, experimentation, the tireless, never ending pattern of men
Speaker 1: of science probing the mysteries, searching for ultimate benefits for humanity,
Speaker 1: hoping through medicine to discover cures for all ills since
Speaker 1: the dawn of time. But even though centuries old, the
Speaker 1: practice of medicine as only within a comparatively recent length
Speaker 1: of time made its greatest stride in prolonging the life
Speaker 1: of man. It may well be that this fact is
Speaker 1: due to day's emphasis upon research, research which has yielded
Speaker 1: such life saving drugs as penicillin and the newer streptomycin.
Speaker 1: Among the firms whose research helped increase production of penicillin
Speaker 1: and allied products is Chanley Laboratories. In recent months, Shanley
Speaker 1: Laboratories is placed at the disposal of your physician such
Speaker 1: specialized products as penicillin tablets and troquets for administration of
Speaker 1: penicillin by mouth, penicillin ointment for local application, and ophthalmic
Speaker 1: ointment for treating certain infecttions of the eye. Even now,
Speaker 1: as you hear this program, the research scientists of Shenley
Speaker 1: Laboratories are working toward the end that your physician may
Speaker 1: have an never increasing number of healing, life giving drugs
Speaker 1: of his command. In striving to further broaden the scope
Speaker 1: of our production of pharmaceuticals. Shenley Laboratories is guided by
Speaker 1: the desire to help place in every doctor's hands the
Speaker 1: greatest amount of aid and fighting disease that medical Church
Speaker 1: can develop. Now, Ronald Coleman continues the story of yellowjack.
Speaker 3: Mosquitoes under the searching white light of science, mosquitoes under microscopes, discussion, speculation, experimentation.
Speaker 8: Look, boys, my orders are to bring mosquitos in here
Speaker 8: to the hospital, war to suck a few yellow fever
Speaker 8: germs out of your blood. Now you got plenty to spare,
Speaker 8: so there's nothing for you to get excited about. One
Speaker 8: little mosquito bite won't make you feel any worse than
Speaker 8: you do already.
Speaker 3: One mosquitobite in the interests of science. Let the mosquito
Speaker 3: dip his quill in the poison and proceed on his
Speaker 3: deadly way.
Speaker 6: All right, LA's here, roll up your sleeve, has little
Speaker 6: baby in this jar straight from the yellowjack ward, Go ahead,
Speaker 6: let's get it.
Speaker 3: Over with there it is. That's simply death is carried
Speaker 3: from insect tramn or is it any temperature las here?
Speaker 6: Nope, heady, no, don discouraging, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? How long since the last time I.
Speaker 2: Was bitten six days.
Speaker 3: How discouraging when facts can't keep up with hunches. Three
Speaker 3: mosquito bites for doctor Lesier and no results. The key
Speaker 3: and the lock are in their hands, but the luck
Speaker 3: is hard to turn. Nature discloses her secrets reluctantly. Something
Speaker 3: has been overlood. Here.
Speaker 5: I can tell you one thing we've forgotten.
Speaker 3: Oh, what's that?
Speaker 7: It's the same thing Ross was stuck on with malaria.
Speaker 7: You can fill those mosquitos full of malaria blood and
Speaker 7: they can't hurt a baby for two weeks. Afterwards, they've
Speaker 7: got to have a good two weeks to ripen. We
Speaker 7: haven't given oursqueters any time. Hmmm, he grimodi, How long.
Speaker 6: Is your oldest mosquito headed the jester meal of yellow
Speaker 6: fever blood?
Speaker 5: Twelve days?
Speaker 6: All right, We'll wait two more and trimolas there. That
Speaker 6: doesn't take wistod on, doctor Carroll.
Speaker 3: Waiting is hard, with the tropic sun beating down and
Speaker 3: men dying in the yellow fever wards. Waiting is a
Speaker 3: twisting impatience that writhes in their stomachs. While the mosquito
Speaker 3: drones in the test tube and doctor Lazier remains well,
Speaker 3: doubts begin to fester and spread. Perhaps the mosquito is
Speaker 3: not the villain. Perhaps once more they are on the
Speaker 3: wrong track. Their manes are small rooms, and they past them,
Speaker 3: our after our, day after day, while the jungle leaves
Speaker 3: whisper and chuckle in the afternoon breezes, while the monkey chatters,
Speaker 3: the manate doses, and the vines of Cuba twine about
Speaker 3: the dead. All right, let's get this over with. What's
Speaker 3: this mosquito war? By yourself? Agrimony?
Speaker 5: That is the one we've fed on that boy. Two
Speaker 5: weeks ago we had just been brought into the war.
Speaker 5: That case hadn't even begun to develop. Carol, that's tried.
Speaker 5: I took mine from fatal cases. Why can't you a
Speaker 5: Mosquito's a mosquito on it? You don't mind, I'll pick
Speaker 5: my own. Come on, black beauty, kiss me.
Speaker 3: Another period of waiting and watching, while anxiety and worry
Speaker 3: pinches at their nerves and the bitter tang of failure
Speaker 3: tastes on their lips. They had been willing to rest
Speaker 3: death for the victory of a yellow jack, but now
Speaker 3: they feel that instead of death, they are fencing with ridicule.
Speaker 3: Carol in particular, is beginning to crack under the strain,
Speaker 3: and even read is showing the danger signals of mental
Speaker 3: anguish and strain.
Speaker 6: I have no patience with you, Carol. This morning you
Speaker 6: performed an autopsy on a man just dead of yellow fever,
Speaker 6: and you're testing one so los of infection you deliberately
Speaker 6: expose yourself to another if you were to have become infected.
Speaker 6: How would you know what source of infection to hold responsible?
Speaker 6: How can you expect me to check my real work
Speaker 6: to test an idea that's already exploded.
Speaker 7: You aren't even giving it a chance. You haven't taken
Speaker 7: your temperature at all these last four days.
Speaker 3: Why should I This darn thing has me crazy as
Speaker 3: it is, it's even got me all off my feet.
Speaker 6: I woke up this morning feeling how Carol? I don't
Speaker 6: like the dackens. My head's felt like a dog's breakfast
Speaker 6: all morning.
Speaker 3: Headache, dizziness. Are you assure it's the effect of nerves? Carol?
Speaker 3: Remember a lady you called black beauty, a lady you
Speaker 3: dared to laugh at.
Speaker 6: Report to the hospital immediately, Carol.
Speaker 3: Why there's nothing wrong with me? All I need is
Speaker 3: a little quinine and a headache.
Speaker 6: Beggy Mobile is there, Yes, of course, come on town,
Speaker 6: a lot of dang nuns. I am frightened, AGRIMONDI for
Speaker 6: the first time, I'm frightened.
Speaker 5: What of that Carol's got yellowjack or that he hasn't both.
Speaker 3: Well, Doctor Philly.
Speaker 2: I examined Carol very thoroughly. Whatever doubts she may have
Speaker 2: had yesterday, there can be no question now. First I
Speaker 2: was sorry for him, then I remember to thank.
Speaker 3: God, I'm sorry. But Carol's case is not conclusive. Evidence no, unfortunately,
Speaker 3: not conclusive. Why did one mosquito succeed with Carol when
Speaker 3: fifty failed with Lazier? How can anyone be sure that
Speaker 3: it was the mosquito that infected him? An insect infected
Speaker 3: from a case only in the second day of disease,
Speaker 3: Doctor Reid.
Speaker 7: Suppose this microbe is only in the blood the first
Speaker 7: few days before you really know what's wrong with you.
Speaker 3: You mean it might change die after the first few days.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: But if there is anything in the idea we've been
Speaker 7: wasting our time feeding our skeeters on advanced cases, there
Speaker 7: wouldn't have been any microbes left.
Speaker 6: In them, and that would explain why I could I
Speaker 6: wonder if that could be it.
Speaker 3: Ah, it's too easy.
Speaker 2: Things can be that simple.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, things can be that simple. The truth is
Speaker 3: always simple when you're finally able to discern what is
Speaker 3: the truth.
Speaker 7: If this is the trick, I never ran any risk
Speaker 7: at all, and I may be as susceptible as any man.
Speaker 7: I could be the case to confirm Carol.
Speaker 6: Now you'd have to be isolated for two weeks.
Speaker 3: First.
Speaker 2: In two weeks, doctor Carroll will be well or dead.
Speaker 7: We can't leave him lying there when he's done this.
Speaker 7: We can't let him die without knowing what he's done.
Speaker 7: Dear God, give us a chance with this, Dear God,
Speaker 7: just a chance.
Speaker 3: Send them one pure, unsuspecting human guinea pig, one guinea pig,
Speaker 3: to prove that yellowjack comes from the mosquito. One guinea pig,
Speaker 3: one guinea pig, one guinea pig, One guinea pigs.
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 3: What is it? What's wrong? It's no use. I can't
Speaker 3: go on. I'm sick, great or I don't wonder.
Speaker 6: You've been at Carol's bedside night and day.
Speaker 4: Carol got yellow jack from our mosquitoes. I haven't been
Speaker 4: bitten myself for weeks, but I've got it too, I've
Speaker 4: got it too. You can take all those notes and
Speaker 4: the poets and all those mosquitos and Burnham. There's nothing
Speaker 4: in them, because I've gone and got yellow Jack. Without
Speaker 4: our mosquito.
Speaker 3: Men can't go against death and not risk death themselves.
Speaker 3: Pasteur sent Tuilier to Alexandria for the Colera. Tuilier didn't
Speaker 3: come back. Lazia won't last. Humanity asks great sacrifices of
Speaker 3: its scientists. Write down the name Jesse Lazier, engrave it
Speaker 3: on stone, honor it. He was a strong man, but
Speaker 3: not so strong as a mosquito.
Speaker 5: Do you want to give up, doctor Reed?
Speaker 3: Do you want to go back?
Speaker 6: About you, Carol, you're the one who's been ill.
Speaker 3: No, I want to go on for myself and for Lazier.
Speaker 3: Go back.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: The stuff of courage doesn't grow weaker. It grows stronger
Speaker 3: and brighter, until it blinds with its light, and the
Speaker 3: flaming sword cuts through the veil of knowledge.
Speaker 8: Understand our sergeant eimal Wood doesn't want any pressure rock,
Speaker 8: just let it leak out. I don't know why any
Speaker 8: healthy kids should volunteer, but three hundreds a lot of
Speaker 8: money to a soldier.
Speaker 3: The whispers dart across the night like frightened birds. Three
Speaker 3: hundred dollars compensation for volunteers. They've got a nerve volunteers
Speaker 3: to catch yellow jack and die of it. Not for me,
Speaker 3: not for five times, three hundred dollars, to advance science
Speaker 3: and benefit humanity in soldiers, humanity, no pressure, just let
Speaker 3: it leak out. They will be volunteers. There must be volunteers.
Speaker 6: Did you want something private? O, Hero have come to volunteer, sir,
Speaker 6: the both of us, sir, for the experiment.
Speaker 3: You know the risk, yes, sir, we know all right.
Speaker 6: You've heard what the compensation is, Yes, sir, we've heard
Speaker 6: for volunteering in the interests of science.
Speaker 2: And for the benefit of humanity.
Speaker 6: And the only condition on which we volunteer is that
Speaker 6: we receive no compensation. Sir, gentlemen, I thank you.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that there are no one can stop
Speaker 3: them now? They've got everything they need backing money, isolation camps,
Speaker 3: and a couple of guys worth remembering.
Speaker 6: The conditions are absolutely ideal. Carol Brinkerhof, No Hero be
Speaker 6: confined in this tent. There be no mosquitos here that
Speaker 6: we don't bring with us in test tubes. This is
Speaker 6: going to be the dog gondest experiment there's ever been.
Speaker 6: Two weeks for Ohara and Brinker have to sit in
Speaker 6: that tent. Two weeks with one of themselves the company,
Speaker 6: and an occasional visit from the doctors. Two weeks of
Speaker 6: sleep and food and stereo bars before their strange wedding.
Speaker 6: Are you ready to break her off? No hero, Yes, sir, sir,
Speaker 6: you give me the mosquitos agrimony there, but no mistakes
Speaker 6: this time, no chance of error. Reed's going to show
Speaker 6: them this time that you can't catch yellow jack in
Speaker 6: any way but from the mosquito. He's out to prove
Speaker 6: that Laziir too died because of the mosquito. And so
Speaker 6: he gets two more volunteers and another tenth that he
Speaker 6: calls the dirty House is a tent ready, It's ready,
Speaker 6: all right, And that dirty house is a good name
Speaker 6: for it. It's packed full of every spinking by product
Speaker 6: of this disease.
Speaker 3: Two soldiers will sleep in there for three weeks, sleep
Speaker 3: in the unaired, undisinfected, and unwashed bedding that men have
Speaker 3: died in. Everything that scientists have ever thought transmitted the
Speaker 3: disease is in there except the mosquito.
Speaker 2: I'm hollow, hearah hot.
Speaker 6: It's a cold night with a wintry dampness in it,
Speaker 6: the way you could see your breath of your trouble
Speaker 6: to blow it. Hey, you guys, open the dirty house.
Speaker 3: How do you feel great? Are you with a little
Speaker 3: fresh air?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 7: Hope you guys get yellow jack.
Speaker 6: All you do?
Speaker 3: Do you is you do?
Speaker 7: Because if you don't, we will, and we don't want
Speaker 7: to deprivee you with a pleasure.
Speaker 6: These darmasquito bites, itch or quit beefing brinker?
Speaker 5: Heart?
Speaker 6: Now what are you doing with that tent flap closing it?
Speaker 2: I'm cold?
Speaker 6: Two minutes ago the fever was burning you up.
Speaker 2: I got a chill.
Speaker 7: Now my ears is roaring, my teeth is shattering, my head.
Speaker 2: I feel lousy. And John, what's that line you're always saying?
Speaker 6: Cowards dye, cowards dying many times before their death.
Speaker 3: The valiant never taste of death. But once, of all
Speaker 3: the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems most
Speaker 3: strange to me that men should fear seeing the death.
Speaker 3: The necessary end will come when it will come.
Speaker 2: Will come when it will come.
Speaker 7: Ah, I was afraid, John, Could I ask you to
Speaker 7: sit down to.
Speaker 2: The ambulance and it's amna come for me.
Speaker 6: Reg your hot. You haven't gone and gotten yellowjack without me?
Speaker 5: Have you?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 5: You can?
Speaker 2: I ask you why?
Speaker 3: Of course?
Speaker 6: Ambulance, ambulance, ambulance.
Speaker 5: Will they never finish their examination?
Speaker 6: Karl, you're taking us harder than readers.
Speaker 5: I feel for Red. This is Reed's movement. Everything hangs
Speaker 5: on where the Brinkerhoff has yellow jack and whether Major
Speaker 5: Gugus is convinced that he got it from our mosquito.
Speaker 3: The doctors bend over the hospital bed, take note of
Speaker 3: the symptoms, observe them well, gentlemen. The eyes jaundiced, the guns, bleeding, headache, nausea.
Speaker 3: The boy hasn't omitted a single symptom.
Speaker 6: Beautiful, beautiful, Major Reed, Yes, Major Gourgus, How long did
Speaker 6: you say between the bite and the first symptom? Three days,
Speaker 6: nine and a half hours, three days, nine and a
Speaker 6: half hours for Read, months before that for Carol and Lazier,
Speaker 6: and nineteen years for doctor Finlay. The truth has been
Speaker 6: conceived and delivered into life, a new baby for science
Speaker 6: and medicine to rear.
Speaker 2: Major Read, this is an impressive moment.
Speaker 6: I'm going out after this mosquito.
Speaker 3: Let me shake your hand, sir.
Speaker 6: If that boy's convinced you, Gorgus, that he did get
Speaker 6: the infection from the mosquito, and if those other two
Speaker 6: healthy as ever in the filth of that dirty house,
Speaker 6: have shown you the disease cannot, in nature be contracted
Speaker 6: except from the mosquito, then you may. But if you
Speaker 6: have any shadow of reservation on either point.
Speaker 5: At a new case of people coming in, sir, doctor
Speaker 5: Eiams just went down to look at him new case.
Speaker 3: The silence falls like a chill across the hut. The
Speaker 3: outstretched hand drops a new found world tutters on its
Speaker 3: slender foundations.
Speaker 6: The case it's not from our isolation came.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
Speaker 5: They didn't say hu, though two of the men went
Speaker 5: down to carry the stretcher from the ambulance.
Speaker 3: The moments are leaden eternities. The tongue clings like dry
Speaker 3: cotton to the roof of the mouth. The throat is dry,
Speaker 3: the hands clammy. The victory that seems so close is
Speaker 3: trembling into tears.
Speaker 5: They could not have caught it in the dirty house.
Speaker 6: There hasn't been a mosquito near that pa that had
Speaker 6: wrecked things worse than Lazier's death.
Speaker 3: The footsteps approached slowly, the halt races to meet them.
Speaker 3: That defeet are rooted to the floor. They're afraid to
Speaker 3: look at the stretcher.
Speaker 6: Good afternoon to your doctor.
Speaker 3: Oh hera, this man doesn't have yellow fever, duct aims.
Speaker 2: I just examined him.
Speaker 6: It doesn't make sense. He should have come down four
Speaker 6: days ago. Well, now, I'll tell you. I couldn't bear
Speaker 6: to let Brinkerhoff get ahead of me. He should have
Speaker 6: kept as mosquito as he who has locked up.
Speaker 3: Oh hera, oh hera. Now science sent humanity become one
Speaker 3: in the person of Johnny O'Hara, and no shadow of
Speaker 3: gain for him but his own satisfaction, and only the
Speaker 3: vanity and glory of that. So the job's done, and
Speaker 3: the doubts and discouragements are memories now, and the mosquito's
Speaker 3: poison talon will be dealt with.
Speaker 6: And this well, Carol, the last microscope's packed, and we
Speaker 6: close the door of the Cuban laboratory. A dirty house
Speaker 6: has made a fine bonfire, and grass can grow once
Speaker 6: more where Brinckerhoff. No hera pits the tenth None of
Speaker 6: the boys are much the worse for wear, and.
Speaker 3: We are going home.
Speaker 6: I wish we were taking Lazir home with us. I
Speaker 6: wish you were coming Agrimonte. No, doctor, I am Cuban born.
Speaker 6: I must stay in Cuba. The rig you ordered to
Speaker 6: take you down to the transports ready whenever you are, sir, good,
Speaker 6: I'm tired.
Speaker 3: A man does what he has to do and is tired,
Speaker 3: and the rest that follows is a good rest, for
Speaker 3: he has earned it.
Speaker 9: Help take a last look at Cuba, Carrol. Yes, a
Speaker 9: last look, because the island slips slowly from the ship.
Speaker 9: A last look at the jungled kingdom of the monkey
Speaker 9: and the tortoise and the manateee.
Speaker 3: A last salute to Lazier and the others who died
Speaker 3: too soon. And a parting gesture to that enemy more
Speaker 3: dangerous and more deadly than anything sent out of those
Speaker 3: jungles to defy man. The last look, rich and full
Speaker 3: with the solemn knowledge, are victory and triumph over death.
Speaker 1: In a moment, we'll bring back our star, Ronald Coleman.
Speaker 1: But first, ladies and gentlemen, they we leave you with
Speaker 1: this thought. Chnry Laboratories, maker of penicillin Chanley presents this
Speaker 1: program with the reminder that your doctor, in his work
Speaker 1: of keeping you well, has at his fingertips the whole
Speaker 1: world of science. The firms whose research scientists continually seek
Speaker 1: new aids to health are guided by the desire constantly
Speaker 1: to increase the number of valuable drugs with which your
Speaker 1: doctor fights disease. Shenry Laboratories is numbered among those firms
Speaker 1: whose resources of knowledge and skill are at your doctor command. Now,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, mister Coleman, to.
Speaker 3: Sum up the spirit of this Chenley Laboratories program. This
Speaker 3: simple and beautiful prayer of the physician, written centuries ago
Speaker 3: by my monodes, seems to me to be apt and fitting.
Speaker 3: The eternal Providence has appointed me to watch over the
Speaker 3: life and death of all thy creatures. May I always
Speaker 3: see in the patient a fellow creature in pain. Grant
Speaker 3: me strength an opportunity always to extend domain of my craft.
Speaker 3: This is the prayer of the physician. It is ages old,
Speaker 3: yet today it is as new as the hope for
Speaker 3: a peaceful way of life for all the world. Maybe
Speaker 3: invite you to listen again next week at the same
Speaker 3: time when Chenleigh Laboratories presents green Light starring Robert Young,
Speaker 3: a great star in a great story.
Speaker 7: Good Night, Yellow Jack was produced and directed by Bill Lawrence.
Speaker 1: It was a Geene Holloway adaptation of the play by
Speaker 1: Sidney Howard. This is Frank Graham speaking for Shenley Laboratories,
Speaker 1: producer of penicillin Shenley and Shenley Pharmaceuticals. This is CBS,
Speaker 1: the Columbia Broadcasting System.
