My Bout with Spanish Influenza I remained with my relatives for a long time but how long I cannot say since I fell ill with the Spanish influenza. It was undoubtedly fortunate for me to be with Esther and Tolle during this illness since they had the means of paying for a doctor and the medicine. For a time I was delirious, but when I came to, mother was standing near me! That was my first remedy.
The second was the fresh orange which Tolle brought me. The thought of that cool, delicious fruit had been haunting me during my delicious fruit had been haunting me during my delirium and I must have cried out for it. As soon as I was able to make the journey, mother took me back to Wysokie Litewskie. I was alive and would live. Many did not make it but I did!
Editor's Notes: Oranges were available for purchases in the region, but at very high prices, so they were reserved for the sick.
