| Description: | CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF (NO. 134) New inventions: substance that stops bleeding At a laboratory in the United States of America (?) we see scientists making tests on a new substance synthesized from animal blood that will stop bleeding in seconds. The clotting ingredient in the blood is seen being purified before being mixed with milk of magnesia. Blood is taken from an assistant and mixed with the agent; in 3 seconds the blood has solidified. "In wartime the discovery is of tremendous value", says commentator. (styptic, lab, laboratory) | |
