    16 September 1957

    Dr. Sam T. Gibson, Director

    Blood Program

    The American National Red Cross

    National Headquarters

    Washington 13, D.C.

    Dear Dr. Gibson:

    In answer to your letter of 3 September, I send you herewith a copy of my paper "The Molecular Basis of Genetics," which covers the subject matter of the address that I gave at the 112th Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Chicago last year.

    You will note that I start out with the statement "I am sure that most mental disease is chemical in origin..."

    I gave my address without use of a manuscript, and I am sure that it was not identical with the published paper. I do not remember exactly what I said, but I may have made some reference to the work of Dr. Heath of Tulane University Medical School. Dr. Heath has published an account of his experiments on the injection into normal human beings of blood from schizophrenic individuals. He reported some peculiarities in behavior of the recipients. The reported effects, which have been attributed to a substance taraxein presumed to be present in the blood of the donors, were only transitory. I am not sure how much significance is to be given to these experiments, and I am confident that I did not make the statement that if blood from a schizophrenic were transfused into a normal person, the normal person would have schizophrenia in all its manifestations.

    In answer to Mr. Greer's question, I would say that I doubt that any schizophrenia is being dispersed through the blood banks. This is not a problem at all comparable to that of, say, dispersing hepatitis virus.

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:W
