BLOOD PLEASE
MAKE TO CHEMIST. “A bottle of new blood, please. Alines a little worn out.”’ Soon it will be possible to go into a chemist’s shop and make this modest request. At least that is the phopheev of Dr. Jobs L. Yates, of Milwauke, \\ is., and it was offered in all seriousness to a medical convention at Cleveland. Ohio, according to a Reuter message received yesterday. Happily, there will be no need lor the chemist to keep a sort of Bluebeard’s castle for the more or less painless extraction of the blood. Nor need he engage a platoon of heroes to maintain his supplies ior the loi e they may hear his customers. Scientists in Prague, Bohemia, Dr. Yates said, have now perfected a centrifugal washing process of blood serums which will render suitable even the blood of oxen and sheep. This, if transfused 111 a natuial state, would bring almost instant death. But even instant death might Jie better than developing a passion for crazing your lawn or browsing on your privet hedge as a result of infusing bovine blood into your veins.
