New Type of Sugar
Found in Blood of
Infected Persons
Discovery Supplies
Missing Chapter to
Story of Disease
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Sept. 23 —Two scien
tists reported today finding a new
type of sugar in the blood of per
sons with certain infections, a dis- j
covery supplying a missing Chapter
to the story of disease.
The observation was announced
by Dr. Theodore E. Friedemann and
Dr. Wheelan D. Sutliff of the Uni- j
versity of Chicago department of
medicine, who have been studying
this since 1934.
They developed a simple method
for detection of this highly com
plex sugar and indicated it might j
prove a valuable aid in diagnosis of
disease and determination of its
progress.
Their .discovery regarding the
chemistry of disease explains what
two Frenchmen noticed 40 years
ago—that a heavy white precipitate
occurred when serum from pneu
monia patients was innoculated
with pneumonia germs.
Research since then uncovered
few clues to this phenomenon, al
though it was observed also in sera
from patients w'ith streptococcic
infections, gonorrhea, acute artic
ular rheumatism, chronic nephritis
and uremia.
Drs. Friedemann and Sutliff
found the precipitate was due to
"abnormal quantities of a polysac
charide”—the complex sugar—which
supports rapid growth of bacteria
and which is fermented by them.
Normal blood contains ferment
able free sugar, or dextrose, and
another polysaccharide bound to
protein but not fermentable. The
fermentable polysaccharide yielded
such large quantities of lactic acid
that in a test tube the blood serum
turned milky and even became jellv
like.
The scientists observed the ab
normal blood condition in many
diseases, ‘‘most often in acute bac
terial infections which are asso
ciated with a sustained high tem
perature,” they said.
Susquehanna River
Power Expansion Planned '
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The Safe
Harbor Water Power Corp. yesterday
announced plans for an increase of
facilities at its hydro-electric de
velopment on the Susquehanna
River at Safe Harbor. Pa., at a cost
Of upwards of $1,500,000.
Pennsylvania Railroad, the com- I
pany said, requested the new con
struction to provide additional power ;
for its electric trains “in view of the
expected increase in railroad traffic
in the near future.’’
Dr. Murray Is Dead;
British Medical Leader
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 23.—Dr. George
Redmayne Murray, credited with
originating the thyroid extract treat
ment of goiter, died today at Mober
ley, Cheshire.
Author of many medical works and
papers in medical periodicals, Dr.
Murray was a fellow of the Univer
sity College, London, and emeritus
professor of medicine in Victoria 1
University, Manchester. He also was I
