Unfortunately, children treated with the new liquid didn t get well. They died. In all, 107 people died (mostly children) from taking Elixir Sulfanilamide. Why The chemists who developed the elixir knew that sulfanilamide could not be dissolved in water so they used a different, untested liquid in which to dissolve the helpful drug. That liquid, which became the base for the new liquid medication, was called diethylene glycol. It was much like what we use in automobile antifreeze today. The liquid used to carry a beneficial drug to bacterial infections poisoned those who took it. [Pg.46]
