thorough, In dismissing the case, the
jury made no comment. The ground
of the action was not stated, nor was

Take the Blood Out and Wash It.

Take the Blood Out and Wash 1t.
Drs. V. A. Urevitch and N. K.
Rosenberg have discovered a way to
to take the blood out of the body,
wash it and put it back again. In
the Roussky Vratich they describe
their experiments upon animals. The
idea, Of course, is to rid the blood Of
poisonous substances. They found
they could remove half the blood,
prevent its coagulation by adding
sodium citrate, wash it with salt So
luton and return the purified red
corpuscles into the circulation. It
was not necessary to return the white
corpuscles.
The New York Medical Journal re-
marks that this, taken together with
the transportation of organs and the
growth of tissues outside the body,
forms an entirely new chapter in
experimental medicine. Who can tell
what the future has in store for us?"
