It is real life story of Dr Gerhard

Cloth as all people may not like white

When used  for  treating streptococcal
Infected mice they got cure.
One day Domagk 's little daughter 
Was dyeing of streptococcal infection 
That she had contracted pricking 
Her finger with knitting needle .

Of injecting the dye to her daughter .
Her fever dropped at once and she recovered
