...owns a great rural manor and he is undeniably gentry, but he is also a ruddy-faced, curly-haired, country clot. He snores in church, he eats with his fingers. He drinks and drinks and drinks some more from great pewter tank ards; when angered, he absentmindedly dashes beer into the face of a bulldog. He grabs young wenches by the backs of their skirts and topples them onto piles of new-mown hay. He is up to his pointed chin in geese, cattle, ducks, pigs, horses, and a yelping nation of dogs. Mornings, he can be found asleep...
Classical hemophilia has now been renamed hemophilia A, because in 1952 a boy in England was found to be suffering from what had seemed to be the same disease, but his trouble was actually caused by lack of clotting Factor IX. This affliction is now called hemophilia B. It is transmitted the same way as hemophilia A, but the two diseases can be distinguished by the fact that blood from a hemophilia A victim, which contains Factor IX, will clot blood from a hemophilia B victim. A hemophilia B's blood, with its Factor VIII, will make...
When a blood clot formed behind the retina of his left eye in 1958, Bob Hope, then 55, hardly cut back his activities at all. Doctors feared a partial loss of sight.

Though the actual treatment-powerful light beams precisely focused on the eye to dissolve the clot-is only minutes long, Hope will be sidelined for about two weeks.

Spin the Platelets. Progress along these lines has already been made in supplying platelets-the tiny elements in the blood which enable it to clot-from healthy donors to leukemia patients threatened with uncontrollable hemorrhage. A healthy donor gives two pints of blood at a sitting, instead of the usual single pint. But while he is still on the table, high-speed centrifuges separate the platelets. Most of the rest of the blood (red cells, white cells and plasma) is returned to his veins at once. He can continue such donations twice a week for months on end. Al ready...
...Former West German President Theodor Heuss, 79, in Stuttgart's Katharinenhospital, in serious condition after the amputation of his left leg (above the knee) because of gangrene due to a blood clot; California's Democratic Senator Clair Engle, 51, in Washington's Doctor's Hospital after surgery for the removal of "a small amount of brain tissue" which was thought to be the cause of muscle spasms in his right...
