PAGE TWO September 11, 1952 SKYLINER TSAHS wests Aistmss Body Is Quick To Replace Blood Lost in Donation By Glen R. Shepherd, M.D. Your body normally destroys your blood fast—so fast that you can give at least five pints of blood a year without any trouble. So you are wasting it if you don't give it. Your body normally destroys about 10 million red blood cor­ puscles every second and makes new ones to replace those destroyed. This destroyed blood could save lives—those of servicemen in Korea or your fellow citizens in your own town. Blood is a unique material for which there is no substitute. This is equally true of whole blood and plasma. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood, a pale amber fluid containing literally dozens of dif­ ferent and very complicated chemi­ cals. There are plasma substitutes but none of them works as well in a suffering human being as does the real thing. No Unpleasant Symptoms When you give blood, some may be saved to use as whole blood while only the plasma from others is used. They are equally important. When you give blood, there are usually no unpleasant symptoms even immediately afterward. Very occasionally there is some discom­ fort. This is temporary, lasting only one to three minutes. It is especially likely to happen if you are tired or haven't eaten for five to eight hours before giving your blood. You are giving less than one- tenth of the blood in your body each time it is drawn. - Normally, an average-weight, healthy adult has five or more quarts of blood, and only one pint is drawn off. This is quickly restored in the body. Losing a pint of blood does not lay TWAERS AT ALBUQUERQUE gather for a party and have a big turnout.
