What this episode covers

A short cinematic film about Alice Augusta Ball, the College of Hawaii chemist who made chaulmoogra oil injectable for Hansen’s disease treatment at Kalihi. The 1920 Journal of the American Chemical Society paper went out under Arthur L. Dean and Richard Wrenshall — no Alice, no Ball. In 1922 the clinic doctor, Harry Hollmann, put her name on the method in print. He wrote that eighty-four patients were paroled: sent home, not cured.
