Treatment: Phlebotomy. Dr. E. Richard Halden Jr. treated Parker in the classical way, draining blood from him in a series of small withdrawals (phlebotomies). Parker's body replaced the old blood with new. Thus far, Parker has had 50 phlebotomies, needs 37 in the near future to bring iron content close to normal. But to keep the iron down, the bloodletting will have to go on for the rest of his lifetime...
Along the way, Dr. Halden and a group of Carter researchers made the rare and happy discovery that Parker's serum (the watery part of the blood) is right for Rh typing. Such serum can be got only from Rh-negative patients who at some time in the past have had an infusion of Rh-positive blood. It contains an antibody called "anti-D," formed by natural body defenses doing battle with the invading Rh-positive factor. (Parker got his anti-D as a result of a 1947 spinal fusion when he was accidentally transfused with Rh-positive blood...

With the occupation of Sarpsborg and Halden it reached the lower Swedish border and threatened Sweden's flank behind her main southern defense zone...
Their hold on the mountain ridge down to Halden would enable them to flank Sweden's southern defense zone, which runs southeast through her big lakes, Vaner and Vatter. With their command of the air, their superior arms (automatic rifles against old 6.5-mm. Kraag-Jörgensens, for which the Norse can get more ammunition only from Sweden or the U. S. ), they should be able soon to take southern Norway. Unless King Haakon would order nonresistance, the Nazis promised "martial law," the Gestapo, the death penalty, confiscation, destruction, starvation, the whole bag of tricks displayed in Poland...
