estimates the full estimates of the board

missioners approved all but $50, 200.

BLOOD SUBSTITUTE.
Why Saline Solution Is Sometimes In

why Saline Solution Is Sometimes In
jected Into the Veins.
Occasionally in cases of serious
wounds where there has been great
loss of blood the published reports
state that saline solution was in
jected into the veins to supply the de-
ficiency. The average reader, however,
has a very vague If any idea how a
solution of salt takes the place of
blood.
Not to go into a complete analysis
Of the blood, it is sufficient to note
that of 1000 parts, 7S0.15 Is composed
OF water, albumen Go parts, sodium
and potassium S.371, coloring matter
Supplied by the red blood corpuscles)
1873, leaving only some II parts to be
composed of fibrin, fat, calcium and
magnesium, etc. Where there is seri-
Gus loss of blood state of collapse
sets in because, the normal weight of
blood being reduced, the hearts action
is diminished, there being less resist
ance for that organ to overcome.
To counterfeit the result of shock and
collapse it is necessary to stimulate
the heart by restoring the normal
weight; in other words, to get it to
work by giving it something to work
on. AS the analysis shows, of 1000
parts of blood nearly 800 are composed
of water and sodium, and therefore a
plain saline solution makes good sub
stitute. The heart does not know the
difference. and it goes to pumping
away as usual as soon as this imitation
blood gets in the veins. The saline so
luton serves to tide the patient over
the danger point. AS the food is con-
verified into chyle now blood is formed
the red corpuscles are supplied rapidly
from the normal tissues, and the saline
solution is thrown off through the Sc
cretions in the usual way.
Formerly TRANSMISSION Of blood was
the means employed, but this always
Objectionable method has been sup
planted. The greatest objection to the
TRANSMISSION of blood from one person
to another was that to supply the
necessary amount to restore the
wounded patient it was inevitable that
the volunteer should be almost as bad
ly drained, so that the physician would
have two patients on his hands where
he had one. Besides, there was always
the risk of transfusing disease to the
patient with the others blood. Dogs
and sheep have been sacrificed to sur
gerry for this purpose, but most people
prefer to use blood Of their own manu-
facture to any imported from beasts or
their fellow creatures.
