YOUTH TREATED SINCE 1927.
Took 40 TransfusiOns Before Live
Treatment Was Tried.

Took 40 TransfusiOns Before Liver
Treatment Was Tried.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 28 DR.
The Ohio youth whose life was saved by
a new and apparently successful treat
ment for aplastic anemia, rare and
hitherto incurable blood disease, was
Harold Widdoes. %, senior at otter
bein College, in WeSterVille.
He was admitted to University Hos
pltal here in April, 1927, suffering from
the little-known disease. His blood
contained less than q million red COR
pusleS, and doctors held virtually no
hope for his recovery. During the next
year he submitted to 40 blood trans
fusionS in an effort to restore his blood
to normal condition.
Later hospital physicians began to
administer liver obtained from unborn
calves as last effort to save the young
mans life.
Clarence McAfee, II, Of Swift, Ohio,
also was a victim Of the disease, and
was given the same treatment in an
effort to stop the hemorrhageS sapping
his vitality.
Within three months from the begin
ming OF the treatments both youths
showed signs Of improvement. The
bleeding stopped and the red corpuscles
and hemaglobin, or color, began to i'm
prove toward normal.
McAfee, who was released from the
hospital two weeks ago, is now appar-
emily in the bestVof health. Widdoes,
however, suffered setback, due to an
attack Of acute appendicitis five weeks
ago. but Is recovering from the result
OF the operation and Is reported In good
condition.

OF Minnesota. The measure was caught
In the legislative Jam during the clos.
ing days Of the last regular session OF
Congress.
The need for q new promotion system
is characterized by Secretary Dawson
as "the most pressing problem Affect
ing the Air Corps" He pointed out
that Air Corps of11cers are performing
duties out OF all proportion to their
rank. Units which should be COM
manded by majors in many cases are in
command Of first lieutenants.
AirmaiI Vacancies.
During the campaign for the Furlow
bill last Spring it was pointed out that
40 per cent of all the vacancies in the
officer personnel Of the Army were
created within the Air Corps, whereas
the resulting promotions were distrib-
uted throughout the service.
Mr.. Dawson discussed the need for
adequate promotion legislation in his
annual report, In. which he also stated
that Air Corps operations during the
past fiscal year had been curtailed seri-
ously by lack Of airplanes and the poor
condition of hangers and other equip
ment. -
'oTl1e primary objective Of the Air
Corps in time of peace" the report
added, "is to be ready for immediate
and efficient operation in time of
emergency. Tactical units must ,prac-
tice in time of peace the functions that

ANEM|A PATIENTS "
LIVES ARE SAVED
Boys Successfully Treated
With Livers From EN-
bryonic Calves.
BY the Associated Press.


Success in treatment Of pernicious
anemia by administrations of liver OBJ
tanned from unborn calves was revealed
yesterday by the Department Of Agri-
culture. .....
The report was made on authority of
DR.. r. P. Steddom, chief of the Meat
Inspection Service, which supplied the
Ohio State University Hospital, at Co
lumbus, Ohio, with five pounds OF foetal
livers from healthy COWS to be used as
a last chance for saving the life of. a
young man suffering from Aplastic
anemia. ..-.....
After administration Of the liVers in
pharmaceutical form, the patients
blood count mounted to 4,750,00 red
corpuScleS and the henaglobin, or color,
to 9 9per cent of nOrmal, DR.. Eteddom
recalled from statements forwarded by
the parents, at WeSterville, Ohio. Sew
eral weeks later, during which no fur
ther administrations were made, the
patient was released from the hospital.
Case Held New Victory. =
''I wish to report" the father of the
patient wrote, that your action has
resulted in saving the life of our son,
and also that of q 17-year-old boy
brought to the hospital IA months ago.
The embryonic liver stopped the bleed
ing common in this form of anemia.
Nothing else seemed to have any effect"
DR.. Steddom said he saw in the Ohio
case q new victory for medical science.
Since March, 1929, such nationally
known institutions as the Mayo Clinic,
at Rochester, Mimi, have been getting
foetal nvers from the Federal Meat In
spection Service, but the present report
Is the first to indicate unqualified proof
Of medicinal properties,
Due to strict regulations covering the
release Of foetal animals from inspec-
ton houses, there has been little ex-
Fermentation with embryonic livers
and the special vitamins they are sus-
pected to contain. Too, the supply Is
limited by the. practice Of holding beef
COWS of the market until after the
annual calf crop.
Strong Demand for Supplies.
The demand for experimental sup
plies has become so strong the Inspec-
ton Service plans to answer as far as
possible the requests from reputable
physicians, medical institutions and
pharmaceutical manufacturers. The
service maintains 800 inspection plants
in $50 cities. approximately half of
which are slaughter points.
1.-THE success of the Ohio experiment
is particularly significant" DR.. Stoddom
said, 'in view of the fact that persons
suffering pernicious anemia rarely re-
cover. In most cases they are unable to
take medicine, and the administration
OF embryonic liverS in powdered or cap
sule form may overcome one of the chief
obstacles. Further experiment may re-
veal in what way properties of foetal
hvers overcome the propensity of anenia
to destroy corpuScles.

1T Is significant that fewer Regular

ON POISONED

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Feb. Q,N.
s3.-Upon the autopsy which was to
be performed today on the body of
Mrs. Anna Schmidt rests charge Of
murder, which is hanging over the
head Of 1S.year-old Otto Schmidt, her
stepson.
Mrs. Schmidt, 81, died yesterday in
Jersey City Hospital, and Otto has
confessed to having his 6-year-old
brother, Jacob, put rat poison in her
coffee.
An analysis was to be made today
by DIR. Alexander G, Goettler, toxi-
cologist, Of New York. The youth
is in Hudson county jail. Otto, ar.
rested, admitted that heS had told
Jacob to put the insecticide in Mrs,
Schmidt's coffee.
II did it because she lad a grudge
against me, he said. She kicked
me out of the house and turned my
father against me.
He also confessed to poisoning his
21a-year-old sister, Dorothy. though
he gave no motive. Dorothy's life
was saved through a blood transfu-
sion, In which Otto himself gave his
blood, but she lost the sight of her
right eye,.
The Washington times., 1929-02-08

Although there is surprise that
the final settlement does not give
the church much additional property
for the new papal state, it is
understood that Pope Plus XII at
tributed more Importance to the
concordat's stipulation that the
canon law shall be applied to ltaly.
This will give the church pre-
ponderance in marriages, and aban-
dons the old regulation that civil
marriages were legal in italy. Under
the new law church ceremonies will
be required to make marriages
valid.
The agreement will be signed In
the I4atern Palace on Sunday or
Monday, and Pope Piux XI Is ex'
pected to make his formal announce
ment to the College Of Cardinals
on Monday or Tuesday, when the
text of the agreement wilt be made
public.
Contrary to earlier reports, the
embassies and legations of ENJOYS
accredited to the holy see will re-
main where they are at present,
upon Italian soil, instead of being
removed to the soil of the new
Vatican state.
The Pope is described as being
much pleased with the decision to
allow religious instruction in the
schools. He is said to regard the
concordat as a perfect model for
future agreements.
Bestowal of the papal blessing
upon Italian Crown Prince Umberto
and Princess Marie Jose of Belgium
may be one of the first ceremonies
the Pope will perform under his
new status of sovereign and pontiff.
according to a source close to the
Vatican.
1t is understood that Umberto and
the Belgian princess are to be mar.
ried later in the year and the papai
blessing is to be given at the time
of the nuptials.
The settlement not only removes
the friction between the church and
italy, but brings the church and
state into closer relationship through
the remodeling of the secular laws
to conform with the canon law.
