HIS Sad Downfall.
But last season it was illustrated
that even the greatest of humorists

suffered from enlargement OF the
head from conceit, got the job man

him to win the pennant Abbott got a

it nearly broke keokuk financially.
The Indians were remarkable play

show his authority before the crowd.
Abbott's abusive tactics were known
around the circuit and caused him no

Steadily became worse, until II developed

Soon after her return to New York the

Why the TRANSMISSION of
Blood from Madame GervilIe-
Reaches Husband to Her
Own Starved Arteries Failed
to Ward Off Death
The Operation, Its Method and Dangers
By DR.. John B. Huber. A. M.

THB death OF Nine. Gervllle-Rea
after three efforts TO save her by
blood TRANSMISSION, directs attention
to the merits and the faults OF this heroic
operation. theoretically a perfect treat
ment for certain crises, It is nevertheless
fact that in the practical working out II is
very far from uniformly successful, nor is
It without danger. Why this is so will be
explained later.
Blood TRANSMISSION Is not a modern In
vention. II was performed long before the
Christian era, but in crude way. The
Roman poet, Ovid, relates how the sorce-
ress, Medea, took blood from young,
healthy men, mixed It with vegetable
juices, and injected Il into the veins OF old
men to renew their youth. Savonarola
told OF the TRANSMISSION from the veins OF
two young men for the benefit Of Pope
Innocent VII But the operation in the
past was always very dangerous; and not
always successful by any means.
How is blood TRANSMISSION done by sur.
geons to-day? There are two operations:
artery and vein TRANSMISSION, and the vein
TO vein operation. Various surgeons have
dSNiocu LueJuOuH peculiar 10 them. one
technique for each kind of operation is
here outlined
In artery to vein TRANSMISSION the wrist

above the elbow are scrubbed with soap
water and alcohol. The radial artefy, or
the thumb side of the wrist-the one b,
which the doctor takes the pulse--is ex
posed and covered with a warm, moist sa.
line compress. A ligature Is placed over
the patients upper arm, tight enough to
distend the veins The vein selected is
exposed by a cut along its course, brought
to the surface of the skin and fixed there
by two fine clamping forceps placed side
Dy side, so that when the vein Is opened
iengthwise Qongitudinally) between them,
these clamps will control the cut edges.
The ligature Is then removed from the arm
and the vein opened.
The donors artery is now divided. the
END nearest the hand is clamped; and its
other end. nearest the trunk of the body,

The donors pulse that OF his free hand. Is
counted and watched as long as the trans.

is made OF the total amount of the

sured that the donor Is not losing as much
