Very often the boy is brought in in a very critical con.. dition. He has lost much blood, he is suffering pain, his wlible body arid mind are numb from shock. I3is face is grey. He is laid on the 'stretcher, cover.' ed with blankets, and above him Is hung the bottle of blood or blood plasma. Drop by drop you watch it as it passes into his veins. Then you see the change begin in the lad, The Colour comes back into his face, The glaze over the eyes gives way to brightness. The mind wakes again and the boy begins to fight to pull through, Honour to the blood donors, They lltterallygive life.
