been attacked by a Blrange malady
that threatens him with death.
Two blood transfusions have al
ready been given Dr. Joseph Gold-
berger, United States public health
service physician, and conqueror of
Pellagra, and others will be made
semi-weekly. His physicians are at
a loss to explain his illness, though
they agree that It is some form of
anaemia. A further touch of mys
tery was added, however, when it
was said that this might not be the
primary caure of his ailment.
Twenty of Dr. Goldberger's as
Fociares volunteered for blood
transfusions when it was learned
that three were needed and four
teen of the twenty were accepted.
