Show .APPEAL MADE BY DOCTORS FOE BLOOD New York, Aug. 7. An appeal was Issued today to persons who had suffered suf-fered from infantile paralysis and who have recovered, to give small quantities of their blood so that a serum could be obtained and administered admin-istered to those now victims of similar simi-lar attacks. It was stated that this appeal was made at the request of the department of health and of several sev-eral physicians who are foremost in the fight against the plague. Physicians said that owing to a lack of serum with which to make numerous tests, its value has not yet been fully proved, but indicated that there was a possibility that, If administered ad-ministered early enough, it would prevent pre-vent paralysis and save tho patient from becoming crippled. There has been much discussion of this claim and It has been questioned by other physicians. |
