Title:
Leprosarium, Taegu, ca. 1950.
Description:
"It Must Be Tuesday! Ironing day at the leprosarium, and wooden paddles beat out a rhythmic staccato tune on freshly laundered linens. Through the centuries this has been the Korean way, and is eminently satisfactory even though time and energy consuming. This picture was taken in front of one of the women's dormitories."

Title:
Leprosarium, Taegu, ca. 1950.
Description:
"All Dressed Up in Their Sunday Best. All of the patients are professing Christians, though many of them became so after their admission. A well-rounded evangelistic and Christian Educational program is carried out under the direction of a full-time pastor. These folks are well clothed and well fed, but not far from the front gate there is a tent and dugout colony of some 900 patients with leprosy who have practically nothing but a little food and occasional medicine which the government provides. There is no heat, and winters are desperately severe. Relief goods and blankets will help tide them through the winter, and the government is planning to build more permanent structures for them in the spring, but the present is bleak and forbidding. Such a contrast to those pictured above. With the advent of sulfone therapy many of these children face a much brighter future than their elders. Even if not "cured", they probably will not suffer disfigurement and such other heretofore common complications as eye trouble and blindness."
