21.A Strange Disease
奇怪的疾病
When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage
of painting, a pump was put in. Then,all the painters in the
neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose
characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.
An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and
handle this case. He was enthusiastic,but he didn’t foresee that it
was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the
polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence,people
suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward
made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed
himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed
charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific
conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump. Exposed
to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people
absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.
movement cured all the victims.
