New York City.-Human blood
went at bargain-counter prices in
Bellevue Hospital when for $40 a
guest OF Mills Hotel No. sold f1f-
teen ounces of his life fluid, thereby
probably saving the life of John Den
nison, 15 years old, a patient suffer
ing from malignant growth on the
right leg. There was nothing heroic
about the manner in which the man
sold his blood. 1t WaA purely q bus
iness proposition. The Mills Hotel
man needed the ten-spOt and felt be
could spare the blood. The father
of the patient, though poor, felt he
could spare the $40 in view Of his
sons need for the fresb h.ood.
Striking a bargain between buyer
and seller was easy. DennisOn's S faith
er went to Mills Hotel No. 3 and
announced he was in the market for
human blood He explained that hia
son was in Bellevue Hospital and
that the surgeons were anxious to
transfuse the blood Of a healthy per
son into the body CT the boy.
THE doctors want a strong man
who Is healthy in everg ESyz" ~
father explained.
A guest registered as mark Oven.
who refused to tell anything further
about himself, stepped forward, and
remarked he would like to know
more about 1t.
Big, broad-shouldered, with the
glow OF health In his cheeks, he
looked as If he would pass the test Of
the physicians.
'I guess you'll do" said Dennison.
How much blood do you wantG~
asked Owen.
Fifteen ounces"
How much do I getH"
"Ten dollars"
I'm your man." and the bargain
was struck. The rate was SO 2-s
cents an onucs.
Up to Bellevue Hospital marched
Dennison and Owen. The surgeons
examined the man who was willing
to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for
$40, and told him he would do. The
nature Of the operation then was e1-
planned to him.
He was told that the patient wss
suffering from what is known as SAT-
coma, q malignant growth. To sayS
the boys life 1t was necessary to taks
from his body about sixteen ounces
OF the impure blood and traDsfuse in
the body about fifteen ounces eS
healthy fluid.

Dennison was placed on the oR-
Grating table and Owen was laid on
another table. Between the two was
a narrow table upon which the boy
and the man each placed an arm.
| The surgeons made an incision In
the boy upper arm ShA SAOSA W@S

part Of the median vein, while the

the boy was relieved Of about six

| The surgeons rapidly connected the
lower ligRment Of the mans radisl
artery with the upper vein of the
boys arm, and the blood Of the maA
began to pass into the body OF the
boy.
Dennison and owen watched each
other coolly throughout the opera

boy, net . grosn from the man.
