NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-The injee.
ton of synthetic blood into the leak
ing veins Of a two-day-cld baby suf-
fering from hemophilia probably
saved the infants life after other
expedients failed. according to Rosa

Prospect Heights Hospital and
Brooklyn Maternity Home, 775 Wash
lngton avenue, where the baby was
born.
h Miss Saffier declined to give the
baby's name or the name OF the
surgeon who suggested and per-
formed the. operation.
A few hours after the laboratory
blood was flowing through the
child's system the veins, which had
been leaking internally. were func-
tioning properly, Miss Saffier said.
