Caption "Lucky Bean seeds needed. Sir. I have received an appeal from Cape Town for these seeds. Large quantities are required to obtain a tissue plasminogen activator which will be used to manufacture a substance being used experimentally to dissolve blood clots. It the experiments come up to expectations a new drug will be produced for heart attack victims. I have seen many 'kaffirboom' trees in Grahamstown and I appeal to your readers to collect the seeds and leave them at the reception desk of Settlers Hospital. We will forward them to Cape Town. I look forward to the usual co-operation of the Grahamstown citizens. Yours etc. Dr. G. de L. White. Medical Superinendent, Grocott's Mail 1985-03-01."
