The method of securing DR.. Roberts
goat lymph, which is being used to re-
store to physical vigor persons suffer
ing from paralysis and various other
ailments, was few days ago partially
demonstrated for the press at the lab
oratory of DR.. Joseph r. Hawley In
Chicago, the only place where the
lymph is made.
The material used in the making of
the lymph are the Emphatic glands,
ducts and reservoir, the spinal cord,
the medulla oblongata, the pons varo-
lii and the gray matter of the brain of
a goat and certain fluids secured from
the bull. The goat has the largest
Emphatic system by far of any animal
in existence. Reasoning by process
of exclusion 1t has been figured out
that very likely the very large lynn
phatic system is responsible for the
goats healthiness and immunity from
certain forms of diseases. The fluids
from the bull are also used for their
great strength, tenaclty of life and
virility.
To the Hawley laboratory at least
half a dozen kids six or eight months
old are brought every morning. The
parts of the bull used are secured from
animals at the stock yards just after
they have been struck, but before they
are yet dead. The time of the messen-
gers departure from the stock yards is
timed to such nicely that he arrives
at the laboratory at the minute when
the material which he brings is needed.
This Is arranged for the same reason
the lymph glands are taken from the
kid while 1t is still alve-in order that
the vital principles may be obtained
while they are still in the condition In
which they exist In the living bodies.
kid Is brought into the laboratory
and operating room. Everything in the
apartment is perfectly sterilized, even
the walls being covered with sterilzed
muslin. Close to the operating table
stands a large glass jar. In the center
of this jar is tall, narrow vessel and
/ the space between the walls of the two
| Is filed with cracked ice. At the head
/ of the operating table is the case OF
knives, scissors and other surgical in
struments. In one corner a sprightly
messenger boy restraints the kid until
| the doctor, his assistant and trained
nurse are ready for the operation.
A cup-shaped arrangement is soaked
with chloroform and placed over the
nose of the goat. When the influence
of the drug is perfect and the kid Is
past all feeling the surgeon rapidly
splits the skin on the neck and cuts
away until he brings the carotid artery
into view. The double vessel packed
with ice is then brought close to the
opening and all Of the neck except the
part opened is covered with sterlliz
ed towel. The artery is then cut ant
the blood allowed to squirt into the in
ner vessel that is surrounded by ice
Serum from this blood is for use latel
on in the process of manufacture OF tn,
elixir. All of the good blood from thu
artery Is caught In. this way, but wheI
venous blood appears, as 1t does in ;
few minutes, the vessel Is taken ava,
and the flow of blood stopped.
The jar of blood Is then set aside ant
the surgeon goes to work removing tn,
