Blood Transfusions
Sir, —I quote from A, J. Shadman, M.D., of Boston, regarded by such eminent doctors as the Mayo brothers and the late Harvey Cushing as one of the most outstanding physicians in America: ", . . the blood in any person is in reality the person himself. It contains all the peculiarities of the individual fropi whence it comes. This includes hereditary taints, disease susteptibilities, poisons due to per-
sonal living, eating and drinking habits. Every individual has bls own type, of blood, and since no two are exactly alike' you eannot with' impunity, put anothet person’s blood into your veins, no .matter how well typed. Your system has to get rid of it and begins to do so immediately and continues to do so until it has all been eliminated. . .”—Yours, etc., D. DAVEY. June 22, 1960.
