Subsequently, his health failed, and he went to Sydney After an examination, specialists found that septic inflammation to the lining of the cavities of the heart had set up. The Specialists prepared a serum, but the patient’s condition was too low to permit of direct injection. Mr T. M. Shakespeare, M.L.C., readily volunteer for a transfusion of blood.
