In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was. one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a. druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to. make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the. money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000 which is half of what it. cost.
