.Back in grandfather's time, during the final quarter of the last century, things were quite different. There were no movies, no airplanes, no automobiles, few bathrooms, practically no efficient electrical appliances. If you contracted diabetes or pernicious anemia, your days were numbered: Your blood just "changed to sugar” in the former, "to water” -in- the latter. There was little protection against virulent epidemics. Smallpox vaccine was the only biological on the market. When diphtheria or typhoid ravaged a community, there was nothing to do but wait it out in hope and dread.
