The Goderich Lions Club presented a new blood gas analyzer to
Alexandra Marine and General Hospital on Monday to update
the hospital's labratory equipment. The machine gives an
accurate count of levels of carbon diozide and oxygen in the
body and measures the Ph level iv the blood stream both of
which are dramatically altered during illness. On hand for the
presentation were, left to right, Doug McNeil, chairman of the
hospital board; Bill Clifford, Lions treasurer; Ed Jessop,
president of Lions; Dr. Barry Deathe, Chief of hospital staff;
