Use Of Blood
Serum Found
Successful

Chicago, Feb. 9-(AP)-Evidence
| that blood serum, the colorleSs
liquid part Of blood, has possibilities
Of being the first effective blood
substitute in TRANSMISSION has been
announced.
Three Chicago physicians re-
ported in the journal of The Amer
lean Medical association that the
serum was found to have life
saving benefits when used on dogs
and that similar results were not
ed IN limited number Of human
cases.
It even has some practical ad-
vantages over DiOOG, they said, be-
cause the serum can be given in
massive amounts, doesn't require
preliminary tipping and can be
stored without refrigeration.
Human serum, as blood substl-
.ute, should find wide use not only
III civil emergencies, but particular
~ in time of war at the battle
ront," they said.
The physicians, Drs. Sidney 0.
Lcvinson, Frank NeuWelt and
Heinrich Necheles, concluded:
IF serum TRANSMISSION should
prove TO be as effective in treating
nemorrhage and subsequent shock
n man as it appears to be in the
dog, it would be valuable and Ell
fective blood substitute"
The serum consists of the clear
liquid part Of blood separated from
its fibrin Ga whitish proteln) and
:OrpuScles.
There is urgent need for an ef-
:ective blood substitute" the three
men state. Even in large hospitals
and in large cities where blood can
De secured with relative promptnesS
there are situations in which lmme-
diate availability and injection OF
good blood substitute would improve
treatment and enhance the outlook
from massive hemorrhage.
although whole blood is the best
restorative fluid in massive hem-
orrhage, our Investigations have
demonstrated that serum overcome,
all the effects Of hemorrh0&e in dog
except the loss Of red blood cells.
