Mr.. Gallup put the tacks down and
lifted up the sickle again.

SALT WATER BLOOD.
An Operation That Ia the Saving of
Many Human Liven.

TRANSMISSION of blood is a procedure
that must have been employed by ply
sicians in very early times. Ovid tells
Of Medea bringing back youth to the
aged by the injection into their veins
Of the blood of young men, and doubt
less the same means was employed by
physicians for less fantastic objects.
The injection of the blood of one per-
son into the veins of another was until
recently done to save life after severe
hemorrhage and in various forms Of
blood poisoning. Sometimes a direct
communication was made between the
veins of the donor and of the recipient
by means of n tube. AT other times the
healthy subject was bled into a bowl
and the blood was beaten to remove
the fibrin before 1t was passed into the
blood vessels of the patient.
The procedure Is dangerous one,
however, although many lives have
been saved by it, and 1t has now been
almost entirely abandoned, much
safer plan being used.
1t is found that the blood when de-
fbrinated is no longer a living fluid,
and the corpuscles it contains serve no
useful purpose when injected, but rath-
er act as foreign matter which must be
got rid of. Accordingly physicians now
use distilled water in which a definite
proportion of common salt and other
chlorides have been dissolved. This So
luton is warmed and is injected SLOW
ly into a vein at the bend of the elbow,
about quart being used.
Often it Is not even necessary to pour
the fluid into vein, but simply to in
ject it through one or more hollow
needles into the tissues beneath the
skin of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage
or cholera, but also in certain diseases
in which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case large amount of fluid
is injected slowly, and being taken up
by the blood is almost Immediately
excreted through the kidneys, carrying
with it much of the poison which the
blood was unable to rid itself of un-
aided.
This operation has been felicitously
called "blood washing" for this is
what 1t really is, and to the process hu-
manity owes the saving Of many lives.
