Injection Of
Whole Blood
Possible Aid
Possible Aid

By HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN " D
THERE is little known at pres
ent concerning either the cause or
the things which influence the
disease known as leukemia. This
is a disorder in which there is
great increase in the number OF
white cells in the blood.
There has been no treatment
discovered as yet which will cure
this condition, but, according to
Doctors Asa b. Friedman and
Leo NJ. Meyer Of New York, the
injection Of whole blood into a
vein, the use Of various drugs and
X-ray treatments, if properly EN-
ployed, may check the progress Of
the disease and prolong life.
X-ray Treatment
In giving the X-ray treatments,
the dosage should be as small as IS
possible still to bring relief Of
symptoms. II too much X-ray is
given, the white blood cells become
resistant to the rays and good re-
suits are not obtained.
There are, in general, two kinds
Of leukemia. One is called the my
elogenous and the other Emphatic.
A careful examination Of the blood
is necessary to make a diagnosis
as to which type is present. The
lymphatic type is, in general, more
severe and progresses much more
rapidly.
In more than one hundred pa.
tients with leukemia, about half
had the myelogenous type. The
disease seems TO affect males and
females equally as often. The av-
erage age at the onset Of the mye-
logenous leukemia is about SO
years. In the acute type this dis
ease runs a rapid course. In the
chronic myelogenous leukemia, the
average duration of the illness il
about 31a TO 4 years.
Lymphatic leukemia occurs
twice as often in males as in fe-
males. In giving the X-ray treat
ments for these conditions, the va
rious parts Of the body are exposed
to the rays, such as the area over
the spleen in the left upper part
of the abdomen, lymph glands and
various other parts of the body
and the bones.
II there is pain in certain parts
of the body due to the collection Of
white blood cells in the tissue, the
X-ray treatments will lessen the
pain.
Many studies Of leukemia are
going on at the present time. 1t
is TO be hoped that sooner or later
the cause for this condition may
be found so that some order Of
treatment may be worked out
which will prevent or cure it
