BLOOD TRANSMISSION FAILS.
Miss Jean Searles Succumbs Despite
BROTHERS, Heroic Sacrifice

In spite of the heroic efforts OF her
brother to save her life by TRANSMISSION of
blood. Miss Jean Searles, secretary to
Representative Gordon Lee OF Georgia,
died at Providence Hospital yesterday
TRANSMISSION Of blood was used as q last
resort, but the good effects of the trans
fusion were lost. through subsequent
hemorrhages, and Miss Searles died with
in few hours of the last attempt to
save her life.
Miss Searles was taken i'll very suddenly
about week ago. She suffered from
severe hemorrhages, which weakened her
very much. Physicians injected forty-five
cubic centimeters of normal serum into
her veins, but subsequent hemorrhages
left her weak, IL not weaker. than before.
Saturday afternoon one thousand cubic
centimeters of salt solution were injected.
but Miss Searles became weaker and
weaker as a result Of the continued hem
orrhages, and finally, as last attempt,
the doctors decided to try transfusing hui
man blood, Her brother Thomas volun-
teered. and after testing his blood to see
if it were compatible, her physicians
tried 1t.
The last desperate effort was unavail-
ing, however, although large quantity
of blood was taken from her brother.
Miss Searles died few hours later and
her brother is in a very weakened con-
dition due to the loss of blood.
Miss Searles' brother Thomas and her
sister Marie OF New York accompanied
Miss Searles' body to their home, Vicks-
burg, Miss, where the funeral will be
held and interment made.
