Once acquainted with my difficulties, Parapine asked nothing better than to help me and to orient my perilous therapy, but unfortunately, in twenty years, he had learned so many, so diverse, and so often contradictory things about typhoid that by that time he was just about unable to formulate any clear and definite opinion concerning that most commonplace ailment and its treatment.
Parapine, nere ezintasunen berri eman nionean, ezinago gogotsu saiatu zen laguntzen eta ene terapeutika arriskutsua bideratzen, baina hogei urtetan hainbeste gauza ikusiak zituen tifusaren gainean, hainbestetarikoak, hain sarritan kontraesanekoak, ze honetaraz gero lan ederra zuen, erabateko ezina egia esateko, gaitz arrrunt horri buruz inolako eritzi garbirik agertzeko.
