I think you should know what
we mean by the term blood test.
It is not unusual for patients
to ask: do you think I need
a blood test, doctor?" Even as
they ask, they have but a vague
idea of what it is all about.
True, the man who wants to
be sure he hasn't syphilis is
thinking of a Wassermann or
other such test, when he asks
for a blood examination. Like
wise, in many States, that's what
he asks for when he wants a
marriage certificate.
And the woman who is tired
and rundown also has a spe-
cific test in mind. She wonders
If her hemoglobin is low and
If her red blood cell count is
normal. II want to be sure I
don't need to take iron," she
says.
However, there is more to
blood tests than this. Some
times blood examination can be
a highly complicated procedure.
The taking of the sample is
easy; the examination may be
difficult.
For example, here is a woman
who has lost weight. Her blood
sedimentation rate is rapid.
This leads to a search for under
lying disease. An early tubercu-
losis, arthritis or other infection
may be discovered.
Test Indicates Anemia
Here is a pale. yet well-nour-
ished middle-aged woman who
is extremely tired. A blood test
indicates pernicious anemia.
Liver and BIZ treatment quickly
make a new woman out of her
Here is a young bookkeeper
with a very low hemogiobin and
red blood cell count. The cause
is found. Blood seepage from a
stomach ulcer.
Here is a count high in blood
cells called eosinophiles. 1t leads
to the diagnosis of tapeworm in
a teen-ager who has been eating
raw hamburgers.
What other kinds of blood
tests are there? To check on, or
take the place of the basal meta
bolism test, there are intricate
blood iodine determinations.
There are tests which measure
the function and health of your
liver and kidneys. Appropriately
they are called liver and kid
ney function tests.
Bone Disease Diagnosed
Other tests help diagnose bone
disease. In fact, sternal punc-
ture to examine bone marrow, is
now q common procedure in COM
pleting blood examinatins. 1t, is

sent argued that SO long as the
unborn infant had "quickened"
that is. was capable of living
loutside the womb-then it was q
legal person and suit could be
maintained on its behalf.
Such is the test usually ap-
piled when the "viable infant"
theory is invoked: was the foetus
viable capable of independent
life) at the time of injury? If so,
liability may be assessed against
the negligent party causing the
injury.
First Suit in 1884
Naturally, the answer to the
question will vary with circum-
stances; but it may permit re-
covery of damages by parents in
cases where pregnancy was only
six or seven months along when
injury occurred.
The first important suit
brought on behalf of an unborn
child was in 1884 when an expec-
tant mother who had suffered q
miscarriage from a fall on a
defective sidewalk sued the city
of Northampton, Mass. Bay
State judges decided. however,
that an unborn child had no
separate existence apart from
it's mother and hence had no
legal standing. This view is still
followed. as indicated, in many
jurisdictions.
Of course. all this is quite
aside from the matter of injury
to the mother. The mother can
always sue if she can define the
injury to her and the negligence
which caused it.

Stevenson Explains Loss:
Not Enough Hondshokes

CHICAGO, Mar. % (P.-Adlai
E. Stevenson says that maybe he
should have shaken more hands
in Minnesota. I
He conceded at a packed news
conference yesterday that Tues
days Minnesota primary knocked
him aside as front-runner for
the Democratic presidential NOM
nation.
But he said he will keep on
running-"harder than ever
in other State primaries and that
he will go to the Democratic
Convention in August seeking
the No. spot on the ticket.
He said he wouldn't consider
running for Vice President on a
ticket headed by Senator Ke-
fauver. who defeated him in the
first primary where the two men
collided actively and directly.
Blames Hurried Pace
Mr.. Stevenson and his cam
paign manager, James Finnegan
blamed too hurried a campaign
pace for the defeat in Minnesota
Mr.. Finnegan also blamed Re-
publicans he said crossed party
lines to vote for Senator Ke-
fauver.
Asked whether he should have
shaken more hands. as Senator
Kefauver did, Mr.. Stevenson
smiled and said:
There is no doubt handshak-
ing develops a close identity
between the shaker and the
shakee.
I'VE travelled too fast. We had
