Methods for blood transfusions from animals to animals in February-April 1667 developed in England R. Lower and E. King. The priority of the first transfusion of blood from the animal to man belongs to France. June 15, 1667 in Paris J.-B. Denis and barber-surgeon P. Emmerez using the Lower-King method transfused blood of a lamb to patients suffering from anemia. During the 2nd half of 1667 -- the spring of 1668 R. Lower, E. King and S. Pepis in England, J.-B. Denis and P. Emmerez in France, G. Riva and P.Manfredi in Italy, B. Kauffmann and M. Portmann in Germany had several successful blood transfusions. A total of 19 procedures done 10 sick people and 2 healthy man, but in the spring of 1668 public opinion related the death of a patient to the procedure.
