Say the victim was a woman. There are some blood spots o:i Lor garments. To even the most expert slueth the spots mean nothing except that they are there— well, that's about all. For generations past that wottld have been about all. But not so now. Science has discovered "first aid” in murder cases which promises to revolutionize the history of criminology. I ntil now, there was no way In which science could distinguish whether the blood stains on the garment of the murder victim belonged to man, animal bin! or reptile. And if there had been any method which would bring out the distinction, scientists had never even dreamed that the criminal could be traced through the difference in his blood crystals from those o f any other human. Development o f scientific research to such an ad vanced point was not even remotely considered, much less put in the category o f possibilities. But it has at MRS. LOU R IT N E R DEAD.

The blood crystal theory has been proved to be practical and its discoverer— Dr. Edward Tyson Reichert, Profesor of Physiology at the Univerity of Pennsylvania is the scientist whose investigations have given to the world what is con sidered one of the most epochal discoveries in physi ology and botany since the time of Linnoeus. It is considered no illogical optimism that experts will soon be able, because of the discoveries of Dr. Reichert, to distinguish the blood of the American from that of the Chinaman, the blood of the Italian from that of the Englishman, the blood of the German front that of the Frenchman, and so on. Through Dr. Reichert’s unique new method of de termining to what s|*ecies of animal, bird or reptile any specimen of blood belongs, the blood of man can easily be distinguished from the blood of any other living creature, since it has been discovered that the uiood o f every species crystallizes in a distinct form o f Its own.
