BLOOD TO

Jobless Men Make Otfer
Two Selected to Save
WOmen'S Lives.

Beth Israel HOSPITAL now bays blood
by the quart for a new method OF
TRANSMISSION. and so anxious are men I'M
these hard times to sell their blood
that they and their families may not
starvo no fcwe than 100 appeared IN
one dav and begged 20 be selected.
The house staff was kept busy all
Friday night making tests from the
blood of the various applicants. AMI
Saturday the 100 men appeared again
with eager looks on the faces ot them
all Only two. however. were found
with the proper blood. One m9n was
used for TRANSMISSION in two OF the
three deyDerate cases that underwent
the Operation
The new method is simple. and has
beeu found admirable for more than
one reason. Instead of connecting the
arteries of patient and healthy man, by
sewing them together or by special
tubes. a glass syringe is used TO draw
the blood iron, the arm of the giver.
IL Is rnen forced into the arm OF the
patient.
IN this way betweea thirty and forty
infections of blood, amounting 10 more
than q pint, can be made within from
thirty to forty-!ive minutes, thus max
inc the operation very simple pro-
cedure. Most cases do not even re-
ouire skin incisiOns, as large callbre
needle is used TO make the opening.
In addition. the amount Of blood can
always be measured, and this is con-
sidered a great advantage.
An eighteen -vear-Old girl. Bessie
Kaplan. of 173 Madison ST., was first
.,,,v Gba was blppdlup OTO-
fusely and her lips were as white as
the bed sheets. In fact, the surgeons
said she had passed the minimum
safety limit. Peter Titus, Of lS4 Madi-
son st.. was brought in and blood trans
ferred from his arm 10 the girl. She
Immediately improved, soon assumed a
normal appearance. and d. on the road

At midnight, and was the last resort.
Titus also gave blood to Mrs Bella
Schmuckler. a iifty-twO-yea wOm-
an. of a Henry ST., who was bleeding
10 death internally. i was imperative
to operate upon her for cancer, but her
blood test showed only 20 per cent, as
contrasted with a normal percentage
of 80 to 100. After thirty Syringes Of
Titus's blood had been injected into
her arm Mrs. SchmuckleI' blood count
trebled.
The other case was that Of Mrs.
Bessie Wolowitz, Of Is Attorney ST.,
who was suffering from profound
anamia and had been i'll or a number
of wears. A major operation was i'm
mediately necessary, but the trans
fusion had 10 be first performed IN
order to prepare the patient for the
table. largely because in her case gem
oral anasthesia could not be used.
The woman was so weak she could
rot be transferred to an operating car
riage. and had TO be taken to the
amphitheatre in her own bed. Once
there blood was drawn from the arm Of
Henry Laber, of so Bowery.
The effect Of the TRANSMISSION was
soon apparent. the operation was per
formed and the patient is out OF dan
