After pouring some cow's liver into a patient's veins last week, Professors Cyrus Cressy Sturgis and Raphael Isaacs of the University of Michigan told the fellow to get along and return five or six weeks hence. Theirs is the newest method of alleviating pernicious anemia...
Since Professors George Richards Minot & William Parry Murphy (Harvard) and Dean George Hoyt Whipple (University of Rochester) showed that something in liver causes red blood corpuscles to grow, they and others have sought some simple way of getting the liver into an anemic's system. Eating half a pound of liver a day will do the trick. But most patients balk at eating liver so often. Liver juices taken by mouth are not much more palatable...
Last year Professors Sturgis & Isaacs - the first trained at Johns Hopkins the other at the University of Cincinnati; both are 40 - dried some hog stomachs, removed the fats, fed the residue to anemics. Hog stomachs also created new blood cells. They were easier to swallow because they lacked liver's surfeiting taste, and a dessertspoonful in water or tomato juice once a day was sufficient for health...

Doctors almost never discuss such questionable points with their patients, seldom mention them in print. But as Dr. Wood remarked in an editorial last week, ". . . in private conversation [of doctors] the opinion [is] expressed that...
