dent failed, and the woman. who was

the French Hospital. Her husband is
seriously i'll, both from the effects of the
operation and the shock OF his wife's
death Despite her youth, Mrs. De Lao
was the mother OF Ave children. and her
health had not been robust for long
time. Eventually she went to the French
Hospital, but 1t vas not long before her
husband was informed that her condi-
ton. due in large measure to an anemic
state. was critical.
Immediately DR.. De Lazo offered to
give some Of his own more healthy sup
ply of blood. and after some considera-
ton the physicians accepted. The opera
ton was performed last Wednesday in
the presence OF dozen surgeons An
artery in DR.. De Laos arm was severed
and a like incision was made in the arm
Of his wife. Then both limbs were bound
tightly together in order that the trans
fusion should take place.
Following the operation. there was an
apparent improvement in Mrs. De Lazo's
condition, and ii was said that the ex-
pertinent had proved a success but an
unlooked-for complication arose when
pneumonia set in. and she gradually sank
until death came. The body will be
taken to Guatemala for burial.
