Show Why Fear Curdles Blood Dr. H. G. Barbour of the University Univer-sity of Louisville, Ky., says fear actually curdles the blood and furthermore further-more thickens the blood both of animals and humans. A mechanism for measuring the thickness of the blood has enabled him to determine that excitement or fear has caused the blood to become approximately 10 per cent more concentrated. Dr. Chauncey D. Leake of the University of Wisconsin Wiscon-sin has devised a substance from bone marrow and spleen that increases the number of red corpuscles. He has applied his theory to cases of secondary second-ary anemia with some success. |
