Find Prebistoric Blood Stains
How long will a blood stain last? A British scientist has discovered the fossil remains of a mammoth buried until ages ago. The sand under the fossil was stained black and was cemented together with iron, forming a dark patch which did not expand after the heat of the bone. He suggests that the stain was due to iron in blood which oozed out of the meat and bone of the defunct mammoth.
One hundred and ninety were examined for tuberculosis at the city hospital, two-thirds were ex-servers'men. The other patients were all walks of life, and some were students in the University. The clinic also supplied $100 worth of milk to families where there were tuberculosis patients.
