UNsUCCEssFUL ATTEMPT TO SAVE LIPs BY
1RANSFUsIoN.-For several months Andrew
Fitzgerald. OF Brooklyn, n. Y, former promi-
nence politician, was ailing. and for the past
fewweekswaS unable to take any kind OF nourish
ment. As a consequence he became very feeble
and on saturday last his physician determined
TO TO try the efficacy OF TRANSMISSION OF blood
from healthy body 10 the diseased one, for
which purpose stout hearty man was secured.
The patient S arm was barred aud the delicate
operation OF finding, taking up and opening a
vein was successfully performed. The patients
condition was such that his pulse was nearly
gone, the action OF his heart was feeble and the
vein could scarcely be got at. The healthy
mans arm was tapped and his red, rich blood
flowed freely into a funnel held 10 receive H..
This was connected by tubing with a syringe,
which worked into gold pointed tube, and it
in turn led into the open vein. They took fiye
ounces OF blood about three-quarrers of a
tumblerfu from the man and pumped IL slowly
into the system of the dying patient. The eY-
pertinent was entirely successful and the tnstru-
ment worked TO charm. Unfortunately for
the patient he was already far gone, and after
brief rally he retained full possess on OF his
senses until about fifteen minutes before his
death, which occurred at two O'Clock on Satur-
day afternoon.
