This month the blood donor campaign will again be held in Prince Rupert and the good people of the city will, doubtless, be as ready in responding as they were last year. Ever since August 13, 1652, when Florentine Physician Francesco Folli claimed to have transferred the blood from one animal to another, man has toyed with the idea ,of transferring blood to human beings. Accunts of the experiments' of Sir Christopher Wren-, Richard Lower, Edmund King and Thomas Cox were published in a Royal Society magazine in 1666, but credit was given by the sanr publication a year later to Jean Denys Montpellier for the first transfusion of blood into a human being. These early transfusions were blood from a lamb or calf into human beings and soon fell into disrepute. " It was not until 1835 that interest was again aroused in the subject. It was found the main difficulty was clotting of the blood during transfer. By ,1835 fibrin, the clot forming substance, was removed from the blood and defibrinated blood was used thereafter. By 1875 physicians were skeptical of the value of the treatment and again abandoned it. In 1907 Crile, an American, was successful in making a transfusion direct from the artery of the donor to the vein of the recipient. But even then results were not what had been hoped for and many ..patients died. It was as late as 1910 the Scandina declining years. 0O0 AS THE GAP BETWEEN prices and pensions, annuities, and FAMILY SHOE HOBBY SUPPLIES NOVELTIES TOYS Penguin Hobby Shop 6th Ave. and Fulton si.

In many parts of Canada (such as in Vancouver re milk) vian Jansky discovered a person could receive blood only from selected donors. , The discovery that finally made blood transfusion a reasonable practice was that by the American JHoss in 1910 that human blood could be classified Hhto four groups, only one of which could, with any -degree of safety, be used in everyone. Even then 'the clotting of blood was a stumbling block except for direct transfusion. The discovery of sodium ; citrate as an anti-coagulant in 1914 finally brought transfusion into common practice and methods were 1 developed during the first world war.

During the second world war these reserves of blood and plasma were responsible for , saving the lives of thousands of military personnel I and civilians alike. Since the end of the war the Canadian Red t Cross Society decided that, if blood banks were of ; such great service during the war, they would be of I equally great service in peacetime. Working on ; that assumption, the B.C. division continued the blood banks after the end of the war to provide free blood for transfusions to emergency cases in ; hospitals. The plan was so successful that it has now been adopted throughout Canada. Many lives ' have been saved through having available a blood ; supply, and many stays in hospital have been short-; ened because a blood transfusion pushed the patient that much more quickly toward complete recovery. ; The call is urgent.
