By United Press . DALLAS, Tex., May 9—A Cin: cinnati, 0. surgeon today described a new ‘relatively inexpensive” artificial heart and lung which can bring relief to sufferers from certain types of lung disease, Dr. James A. Helmsworth of) the University. of Cincinnati's de-| partment of surgery, who has extensively tested the heart-lung, read a technical paper on it to members of the American Assolcefation for Thoracic Surgery yesterday. He told about it in layman's phrases in an interview today. Dr. Helmsworth said it was developed by Dr. Leland C. Clark, Jr., chairman of the department of biochemistry at Fels Institute, Yellow Springs, O. The apparatus can take the place of both heart and lungs, Dr. Helmsworth said. It has been |used experimentally on dogs many times for as long as 30

For the first . time in months, He was able to sleep lying on his back. Did Not Check Disease ' Thes apparatus did not check the patient's . lung disease, although it gave him temporary “clear-cut” relief. The doctor would not advocate the use of the artificial heart and lung in the treatment of lung disease, but thought it should be tested further in lung diseases where the lungs are scarred. The apparatus oxygenates the blood—the same function usually performed by the lungs—as well as pumping it through the body, the function normally performed by the heart. 2 Fine bubbles of oxygen are blown into the blood as it passes through the device, and a special
new principle, removes excess oxygen and carbon dioxide before

The pumping. part of the device is controlled electronically to adjust the flow of the blood through the body. The apparatus costs about $200, That is far less than some other devices which have been developed for the same purpose. But Dr. Helmsworth emphasized that the artificial heart-and
