Title:
Leprosarium, Taegu, ca. 1950.
Description:
"Modern Sulfone Therapy. This man, with the very typical leonine facial characteristics of leprosy, is receiving an intravenous injection of Promin, a new post-war therapeutic agent which is one of the most encouraging advances yet made in the fight against this disease. Chief drawback is the expense of such treatment, as patients must receive almost daily injections over a period of months and years. The man giving the injections is also a patient."

Title:
Leprosarium, Taegu, ca. 1950.
Description:
"Leprosarium Staff. Here are the ones who try to keep the institution ticking along smoothly. The problems are great, and many, but Philippians 4:19 is just as true today as it was in the time of St. Paul: 'My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus.' Praise be to Him who cares for us. Seated: (left to right) Mr. Kim, pastor; Dr. Moffett, Acting Supt.; Mr. Pai, Asst. Supt. Standing: Mr. Kwun, business manager; errand boy; Mr. Pak, agriculturalist; Mr. Choon, office worker; Mr. Chun, mechanic and truck driver; maintenance helper. These are the only people directly connected to the institution who are not patients. Not a single Korean doctor due to natural reluctance, if not fear, of associating with cases of leprosy. Interns and residents from Taegu Presbyterian Hospital do give valuable assistance for a few hours each week."
