The three-year sufferer at the Har-

blood from the veins of Harry Buch, a
returned soldier, last week, has good
chances of recovery, it is stated by
attaches of the Harrisburg Hospital
Treated at number of institutions

three years ago, he is much better
now than at any time since he was

additional blood will be transfused in
order TO still strengthen the man.
Before the blood was transfused
last Friday, the man had been report
ed especially weak and il was said
that at times there was scarcely any
heart action noticeable. His flesh
had gradually been assuming a mar
BILE tint from the time OF his admit
tance.
Buch appears to be none the worse
