CURE FOR DISEASE THAT ALWAYS KILLED Almost Miraculous" Recovery of Pernicious Anaemia Sufferers
SCIENCE FINDS A LIFE-SAVER
SUCCESS AFTER YEARS
OF RESEARCH
A DISCOVERY as important in the field of pernicious anaemin as insulin is in regard to diabetes has been made and is now con- firmed by investigators of the Medical Research Council.
The new substance has been given the name of anahaemin, and it is claimed that almost instantly it cures pernicious anaemia, which ten years ago was considered incurable.
The substance anahacmin is the active principle found in the liver of the healthy individual, and, which, it is established, can be used to secure the recovery of people who would otherwise die from this disease,
ད་
Until 1926 there was no known cure for this disease. Then it was found that a daily dose of half a pound of fresh liver secured improvement in health, but in order to continue that improvement and to prolong the life of the patient this diet had to be persistent. The discovery has largely been due to Dr. H. D. Dakin, a London man, who had settled in the United States, but who returned to this country to perfect his work in this connection.
At the invitation of the Research Council Professor Stanley Davidson, of Aberdeen, Professor E. 3. Wayne, of Sheffleld, and Dr. C. C. Ungley, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, undertook to test samples of anahaemin.
It was found that patients treated with it recovered their health within a few weeks.
The report of the Medical Research Council on the experts' find- ings was that:
"To anyone mindful of the almost certain death that followed the development of pernicious anaemia oven so recently as ten years ago, the recovery that follows these minute injections of anti-anaemic principle seems little short of miraculous."
