Excerpt from Jungle Days: Being the Experiences of an American Woman Doctor in India

It was during my early childhood that, on turning the leaves of a mission book, I found an illustration representing a Hindu mother throwing her baby into the gaping jaws of a crocodile, as a sacrifice to the gods; and I asked my mother what the dreadful pic ture meant. When she had explained it to me, I hid my tearful face on her shoulder, and, my heart swell ing with sorrow and pity, I resolved to hurry and grow up that I might go out to India and save those poor little babies.
