' Blood Saves Lives |
HOW IS BLOOD USED TO AID
ACCIDENT OR INJURY VICTIMS?
In accident or injury victims, blood
is used to replace that lost from hemor
rhage. In those cases that have trau
matic shock without hemorrhage, whole
blood transfusion aids in combating
shock by adding the necessary fluid
to the circulatory volume and thus rais
ing blood pressure.
The additional red cells help carry
oxygen to the tissues. The added plasma
proteins also have nutritive value. The
usefulness of blood in accident or injury
is greatly enhanced by having it im
mediately available.
Thus, in those communities that have
a blood program, blood is on hand in
the hospital refrigerator, and much time
and many lives can be saved by pro
viding transfusion immediately.
Cross-matching can be done in a few
minutes time. Delay in finding a donor,
in taking the precious time necessary to
ascertain his type, and in collecting the
blood is eliminated.

of Bride’s which will go on sale May 15.
Captioned “The Import of Fieldcrest”,
the ad points out:
“Where money is no object, taste sets
the criteria. In Parisian residences and
throughout Europe, Fieldcrest bed and
l.iath fashions are sheer luxury imports,
used with flair and displayed pride-
fully. In America, where Fieldcrest co
ordinates are priced far more reason
ably, tasteful people display them just
as proudly ...”
The Big Tent ‘one look’ in sheets,
blankets, bedspreads, towels and bath
rugs is representative of Fieldcrest’s
outstanding collection of “Storyland”
bed and bath fashions for children’s
rooms which feature “once upon a time”
characters and scenes.
The Big Tent ad is in the March issues
of House Beautiful and Vogue, the
March 14 New Yorker and will be car
ried in the April issues of House &
Garden, Sunset and Harper’s.
The Royal Velvet ad in which a young
lady, admiring our towels, asks “I
Wonder If Mr. Fieldcrest Is Married”,
was carried in a large number of maga
zines in the spring of 1963 and is being
repeated in 1964 in the spring issue of
Bride’s which went on sale January 15,
and in the summer issue of Bride &
Homo, which goes on sale April 15.
