iKANsPUsIoN OF BLOoD--A memoir recently
published upon the TRANSMISSION of blood from
one living subject to another, mentions, az the
principal points reached in tho Investigations of
the author, first, that blood collected and kept in
contact with the air at q medium temperature
remains unchanged in its constituent histoloRical
condition, and preserves its chemical peculiari.
ties TOR two or three hours; second, that the red
globules, saturated with oxygen, are the actual
revivitying principle, the fbrin not being an
essential part On this account, to insure safety
and to prevent the introduction of clots into the
circulation, blood deprived Of its fbrin is to be
preferred to that in its normal condition, Third.
the dehbrinated blood of any species, transfused
into an individual Of the same species, can revi.
vify that individual, compromising for loss Of
blood, fulfilling all the functions of the normal
and primitive blood, aud being subject to all its
physiological laws In the same way We can
combat ~ alteration OF the blood, by exchsug.
ing it for that which is healthy. Fourth, the
oiooa OF animals OF one species can revivify. il
even in q transitory manner animals Of another
species Such blood il readily decomposed, aud
It 1t has b.en injected in small quantities it NAV
b eliminated if injected in large quantities il
may produce death. Fifth, TRANSLATION we'll ex.
ecutsd 10 not dangerous operation. The p,se.
tical dangers signslizsd BY the author lie in the
introduction OF foreign bodies with the blood, the
formation Of elots even in injecting the ds6brin.
ssea blood the Of air into the circu.
iatcn, and the precipitation Of the injection, aud
