TRANSFER OF VITAL ORGANS COMING.
Human Beings To Be Repaired from Lower
Animals. Says Professor Flexner.

Chicago Jan. According to Professor Simon
Flexner, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, medical science will soon accomplish the
transfer of sound vital organs and tissues from the
lower animals to man. Tie substitution of healthy
organs for the diseased parts OF the human body
will be made possible through the new experimen tai
surgery and vivisection and will revolutionize mod
ern medicine The successful transplanting of ar
teries from one animal to another is the first step
toward this end
These conclusions were drawn by Professor Flex-
ner in a paper Tendencies in Pathology writ
ten by him for presentation to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science and read
yesterday before the Physiological Section of the
society at the University of Chicago by Professor
Ludwig Hektoen, of the university.
Professor Flexners paper also contained accounts
of a series of experiments rats and mice per-
formed by himself and his assistants, leading to
important discoveries concerning the biological
ditions of tumor growth Pathological problems
have been enormously affected by recent expert
ments in vivisection according to the New York
scientist

long eGga g"ments seem TO BE- in high
disfavor with the rising generation
However we occasionally hear of
some patient couple who after many
years nf waiting at last take the mat

kind and wait until they at least
know something OF their lady loves
4 great deal Of unhappiness could be
avoided.
Thorough knowledge Of each others
character, habits and disposition Is
essential to a successful marriage,
and those who marry in haste will
be sure to repent at leisure. No man
or woman can learn TO understand
each other in two Or three weeks Or
even months. and the wise couple
who seeks happiness will prefer to
find out each Others numerous faults
and fads before they enter double

impatient, demanding all at once, II |
