Emory Laboratory
May Furnish Data
On Blood Disease
By W. M. PEPPER, JR,
Associated Press Staff Writer.
ATLANTA, Ga— (#) —Medical
men puzzling over rare blood dis
eases often look to a little labora~-
tory at Emory University to fur
nish data that may result in sav
ing the lives or lessening the suf
fering of patients.
The laboratory, the registry of
blood diseases, is operated by the
American Society of Clinical Path
ologists and is said by authorities
to be the only one of its kind.
In it are classified and cata
logued some 300 specimens of
blood and tissues collected from
over the world.
The rarest of all blood diseases
—the monocytic type of leukemia
—accounts for about 100 of the
¢pecimens. Only 200 cases of the
disease have been reported in
medical literature,
“Leukemia has been jnvariably
fatal,” said ‘Dr., R. R. Kracke,
president-elect of the society and
director of the registry, “although
in some cases life can be prolong
ed for several years with proper
and scientific methods of treat
ment,
“This treatment should be in the
hands of a competent physician
because it nearly always includes
the use of the X-ray—the best
weapon against it we have.”
He said “in all probability” leu
kemia is a form of cancer and the
white cells circulating in the blood
are cancer cells instead of being
fixed in the tissue ag in ordinary
cancer.
The rarest case of leukemia to
come to his attention, Dr. Kracke
said, was that of an infant born
with the disease several months
ago.
The mewest blood disease to
come to the registry, Dr. Kracke
gaid, was one discovered in 1922.
With the almost unpronounce
able name of agranulocytosis, this
disease was recently found to oc
cur only in persons who had been
taking a certain pain-relieving
drug. Unlike leukemia, it is mnot
always fatal.
Most of the other specimens in
the registry are composed of rare
types of anaemias.
HARBOR FUNDS
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
chief of the army engineers, in
his annual report to congress, has

neers also recommended $945,000

The new work in the Savannah
harbor would include dredging a
26-foot and 30-foot section of the
ghanpe land fthe turning basin.

tenance would bring the total to
