"I think I've spent about $100 on
mine," he said? "but I think I have
gotten more good out of it than that.
You learn a lot, and besides, if I

Relatives Usually Respond
In Blood Transfusion Cases
The relief of patients by transfusion
of blood is not a serious problem in
Omaha hospitals. Usually, when
transfusion is necessary, relatives or
friends respond with their life blood.
Only occasionally is it necessary to
pay the person whose blood is trans
iused to save a life.
Whether the person is a relative,
friend or stranger, his blood is care
fully tested before he contributes to
the life of another.
In a few cases those whose veins
were tapped were paid $25 to $50 for
this service. Most of the patients
::
are anemirs.
In some of the large cities of the
country subjects are selected from
such institutions as workingmen's
hotels or charitable shelters. On an
average one out of four are accepted.
