An affecting case of attempted
TRANSMISSION of blood has just occurred
in Antwerp. A young woman of
good constitution, being accidentally
attacked by internal hemorrhage, be-
came so reduced that, as a last resort,
the TRANSMISSION operation was adopted
to save her life. 1t worked wonder
fully, and IN two hours the cure was
thought to be assured. But Il second
hemorrhage came on, and the physi-
clans were eager to repeat the trans
fusion operation. They could only
find, however, a young woman of
weak constitution to consent to give
her blood to save the sufferer. During
the interval between the operations as
arranged, this young woman suddenly
disappeared, and as none of the per-
sons present would take her place, the
patient died.
