First he inserted a needle in the internal jugular vein (which drains the brain), another in an artery, usually the femoral artery in the thigh. Then he had them breathe a 15% concentration of nitrous oxide, a gas that is easily traced...

The "bloodmobile" is a specially-constructed vehicle that goes from town to town throughout the year, following the same general principle of the traveling libraries that wander over backwoods areas. Instead of landing books, the "bloodmobile" simply borrows blood, with the understanding that the blood will be returned if the donor needs it is a hurry, and quite possible with interest...
