HEMOPHILIA TREATMENT.
ARRESTED IN TWO PATIENTS. A new method for the treatment of hemophilia, or bleeders' disease, has been developed at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and has proved successful experimentally in arresting the disease in two patients, •Dr. Carroll L. Birch said recently. The treatment noS yet accepted as a cure, consists of injecting ovariau extract into the patient's body. The malady, which is transmitted by heredity affects only males, causing excessive bleeding from the slightest wound, because of the inability of the blood to clot. Hemophilia is a rare disease. Members of European nobility have been victims of the affliction for centuries. The two sons of ex-King Alfonso of Spain suffer from the disease, as did the late Czarovich of Russia.
