when the organs of the body are working
automatically in harmonious way, be-
cause each accomplishes certain functions
which supply energies and stimuli to the
others. It also shows the role OF the nerv-
GUS system to be the great co-ordinator OF
all the others.
In certain respects the living body can
be compared to an automobile. The role
OF the nervous system in regard to the
functions of the body corresponds to those

the nervous system causes definite death,
because the organs, If they work at all, do
not work tremendously, each disturbing
the other, until the harmonious automatic
work ceases and thus ends life. The Inn
portance OF the nervous system can well
be understood In cases OF asphyxia, for
Instance. There have been numerous
cases of gas poisoning where the patient
was brought back to life with almost
normal respiration, circulation, etc. but
failed to live because the nervous system
had been damaged to such an extent that
its co-ordinatiye power was lost.

time Of entering the left heart without pro-
ducing irreparable damage. If the left
heart could be entered with some stimulat-
ing liquid as easily as the right, life could
be re-established without much difficulty.
The reason Is that the coronary arteries
supplying tho heart have their origin in
the left side Of the organ, and death being
considered as asphyxia anemia, or anes-
thesia of the heart, 1t is evident that bet
ter results than those now met with could
be obtained If technic OF supplying the
heart with a fresh, stimulating liquid
which would wash out all the waste prod
ucts and supply new stimuli could be de-
veloped.
1t is not an exaggeration to state that
all cases Of poisoning from morphine, CO.
cane, ether and chloroform, as we'll as
from asphyxia and hemorrhage, could be
revived after the patients had been pro-
nounced dead for a certain length of time,
If the coronary vessels OF the heart could
be flushed with stimulating solutions.

found that the liquid that best stimulates
and reactivates\ the heart action Is fresh

been obtained up to the present time in

as there can be no profound coma or apnea
without loss of life. The question is not
one OF stimulation of the heart so much as
of saving its strength. In pneumonia. for
instance, death could be prevented If the
heart action could be kept up for few
days, the problem here being one of heart
action only because the disease exhausts
Itself in few days. The heart is flushed
with blood loaded with poisoned products.
and while its stimulating and nutritious
element, the blood, is nourishing 1t poorly
and poisoning 1t, it has to work harder
because OF the resistance met from the

Blood TRANSMISSION hitherto has failed
technically in the hands of the very best
surgeons. The rea Jon Of the failure Is
that when TRANSMISSION Is not properly per.
formed clot forms between the blood
vessel of the donor and the blood vessel
OF the recipient. The clot will not allow
the flowing of the blood from one to the
other. All my efforts are directed to pre-
vent the formation of clot at the point
Of anastomosis.
From the time that TRANSMISSION was first
attempted, doctors have used a blood yes.
sci of the donor in which the pressure was
high, or have raised such pressure By
artificial means. This has been done
under the impression that the stream of
blood coming from the donor under nigh
pressure would overcome the pressure in
The veins of the recipient. end SO the
blood of the donor would flow easily into
the recipient.
The commonest procedure is to anasto-
NOSE the radial (wrist) artery Of the donor
with vein Of the limb Of the recipient
As the blood Of the radial artery is under
about seven times as much pressure as
the vein Of the recipient, 1t seems logical
to reason that the blood Of the donor will
flow freely into the system Of the recipient.
That this does not always occur is proved
by the many failures OF direct TRANSMISSION
Of blood.
The blood OF the donor does not flow
freely. as is commonly supposed, and this
is evident from the fact that TRANSMISSION

one hour. rough estimate Of how much

This assertion must now be taken with
the modification that what we are com
PEELED TO admit to be fatal injury at the
present time may not be so in the near
or distant future. So, II 1t is true that the
loss, for instance, OF the arms or legs, or
OF both, might not cause death, and the
person who suffered the loss might live as
long as Il there had been NO loss, this is

Resistance.
resistance there is diminution of pressure,
because the width of the bed in which the
blood is flowing when contained in the
artery, is enormously increased in the VEN
Gus system Of the recipient.
By using a vein of the neck OF the
recipient the conditions for the flowing OF
the blood from the donor are quite differ
ent from the conditions described above
when using vein Of a limb. The pres
sure of the blood in the veins of the neck
of the recipient Is negative. and even in
the most extreme aneTias cannot oppose
any resistance to the blood flowing from
the vessels of the donor. AS the blood
flows where there is least resistance, by,
anastomosing the vessel of the donor with
the vessel In the neck OF the recipient, the
blood Will flow very freely from the vessel
In which the pressure is position to the
one where the pressure is negative. By
using a vein Of the neck of the recipient
the blood coming from the donor falls d.
rectly into the heart Of the former aided
by the suction of the heart during diastole
and by the changes In pressure in the
chest during the inspiration and expira-
ton.
Recent experiments have convinced me-
that the best technic Is to use a vein for
both donor and recipient. 1t is extremely
easy to find a good-slzed vein in the arm OF
any adult as donor For the recipient the ex-
ternal jugular vein should always be used.
Tor the physiologc reasons explained
above and because the greatest difficulty
net in performing TRANSMISSION In children
is due to the fact that their superficial
blood vessels are very small. It was then
necessary to use the external femoral.
which is of pretty good size. but not very
superficial. while the external jugular is
both superficial and Of sufficient size even
in infants.
General anesthesia is absolutely con-
tra-indicated; in many cases 1t would be
sufficient to produce the childs death, and
it is not at all necessary. Cocaine solu-
ton, 1 to 500 is sufficient to produce per-
feet anesthesia.
Remember that TRANSMISSION must pro-
coed slowly; If the blood Is flowing too
rapidly make slight pressure on the dom
or's vein. TRANSMISSION should last only IL
few minutes; child does not need much
blood.
Rapid repair of blood vessels and heart
have been accomplished by new technic
which have devised, but not yet pup,

gold wires are bent so as to form an
arc with two very small points IN the
inside of the arc. GThe intima OF the

TRANSMISSION had saved many children dy-
