On October 1971, after 190 failures, she succeeded in (make)qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.
, it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials because research resources were (limit). Tu and her team managed to find solutions the problem. When there was no research equipment, they had to extract herbs (use) household water (contain). They worked day and night and their health began to suffer because of the poor conditions, but they never gave up.
