There are some interesting experi ments in progress now in this city in the transfusion of Jamie’s blood into human blood, particularly in cases of chronic anemia. Dr. Settle, under di rection of Dr. Dawson, has made sev eral trials at the Good Samaritan Hos pital. He has also made use of the ex pedient outside. In one instance he transferred eight ounces of blood from a living lamb to a man. The connec ton is made between the lamb's neck and the patient's arm, and the blond of the lamb passed through short tubes— glass in the lamb and silver in the pa tient—connected by a rubber tube. shortly after te blood reaches the pa tient—say thirty minutes—it manifests its presence in the circulation by caus ing a severe chill. Then, as the net blood ects upon the nerve centers in tea brain and spine, there comes a fever. It is nearly three centuries since this was first practiced in Europe. In this country it was never practiced until this year, and quite recently this year.—Cincinnati Commercial,
