Then they artificially lengthened the clotting period of rats and dogs by tying up their bile ducts. Small amounts of the sterol were injected under the skins of the rats, into the veins of the dogs. Normal rats and dogs were also injected. Before and after injections the scientists measured the coagulation time of each animal by drawing a drop of blood from a vein onto a glass plate exposed...

Several days later, when his blood was filled with urea, they anesthetized him, connected an artery and vein to a vein and artery of a healthy, anesthetized dog. The small connecting pipes were attached to a specially designed pump which exchanged more than six quarts of blood an hour in each direction. A solution of heparin (a phosphorus compound found in the liver) was introduced into the blood...
