Meantime, inside the jail the black flag was run up and the lifeless body of the Hindu doctor was cut down, buried in an open pit of unslaked lime...

The transplanted European analyst actively resents requests for information from a patient's regular doctor, and all psychoanalysts, in spite of their volubility in a living room or before some child-study association of young mothers, refuse to make to their colleagues reports of failure or confession of the limitations of their methods...

After the Women's Christian Temperance Union had ignored him, he turned to Chicago Jews who gave him a total of $500. A Christian doctor gave him a stove, a table, some chairs and an old carpet. His family supplied linen. From a second-hand store he got two beds. With that he started Chicago's first maternity dispensary in a $12-a-month flat in a Ghetto tenement.
