Bertillion had • offered to allow a transfusion of blood from one of his arteries to save the life of his brother, is : not without parallel. Two weeks ago a similar operation was performed at the St. Viucent Hospital in Melbourne. A young man suffering»from a gastric trouble was reduced to such a weak state owing to the loss of blood due to internal haemorrhage that his chances of recovery were considered remote. His brother, however, when made aware of his condition, offered to allow the transfusion of blood from one of his arteries to the young man. . Both men were placed side by side oil the operating table, and an artery in the healthy man's arm was tapped. A s'mil.ir opening was made in the arm if tl\t> patient, and for 35 minutes the heart beat of the healthy man was allowed to pump Ms Wood ■through a rubber tube into the weakened body of his brother. The operation was in every way successful, as the renewed strength gained by the pnt'ent lias since assisted him materially in overcoming his gastric trouble.
