M Y OFFER All day long men and women came lo the hospital, anxious to save the lite of 8 fellow being, permitted them- Selves to huve blood drawn from their I arteries, only to go away disappointed because their life fluid failed to mati h with that of the stricken man Nearly every person who responded yesterday to the call for persons willing to give up a pint of hlood to save the, life of a fellow man, thought he or! she could Qualify. That the;, failed was due only to the tad that their blood was not compatible with that of tho patent, according to Lr. L. L. J tames, bacteriologist at the hospital. l"p to the time Dr. llnes left the hospital hos-pital he had completed fifteen bacteriological bac-teriological testa, none of which was iof the same group as that of Mr. IIum- moml. Later in the day an asslsltant found a blood that appeared to type with that! of the patient, but It failed, and the transfusion Was stopped by thp BUr-j Conns handling the case.

OGDEN WOM W OFFERS At his bedside all of last night Mrs. Hammond kept a close vigil, for thO patient had a turn for the worse early In the evening, and the chart over his; bed Indicated his condition to be very! poor. Transfusion of a blond that Is com-; patible with that of the patient generally gen-erally prolongs life and In many cases I resiilti in a complete restoration of health, according to physicians attending attend-ing the rase. In order to secure the pioper blond grouping, it was explained ex-plained it Is sometimes necessary to make tests of as many as ioo samples of blood There are four types ot'! blood, bacteriologists explain, and sometimes the search for the type that will match with that of the patient' seems t,i be without result, it happening that the blood of those willing to make the sacrifice is of a different grouping Cotnplex-llon Cotnplex-llon and age has nothing to do with It, I although efforts always arc- made to secure the blood of a person under 40 years of use if possibles inasmuch hs tho corpuscles, both red and white generally mix better . The operation, according to authorities! authori-ties! first calls for the placing of a drop of the patient's blood In a Ci-! trate solution, and then adding lo the solution a diop of the like fluid from the person who would give his blood for transfusion If they mix perfect-, ly it Is an Indication that they are of' the same type and are compatible, but' If coagulation results, further search, must be made The young woman from Ogden,' whose name is withheld by hospital I authorities, last night offered to make the sacrifice if it was found that there Was a compatibility between her blood and that of the patient. Laboratory tests showed such a compatibility and the transfusion will take plare at once.
