Experiments for Years

While it now requires sometimes months
for the repair OF a broken arm or leg and
often weeks for the healing of a cuta-
neous wound, DR.. Carrel believes that
these healing processes can be accelerated
wonderfully by the growth of connective
tissue by artificial means. He discloses
that he has been conducting experiments
to this end since 1907.
Aided by knowledge that growth of the
body is dependent in many respects on
the more or less mysterious activities of
some Of the ductless glands-the thyroid

other organs of the body to cutaneous

bear out his belief that if the rate OF the

times only, a cutaneous wound would heal

Result With Animals.

Continuing with more radical expert
ments on live animals with the use of an
extract from the embryonal tissue, he
found this increased the growth forty
times. In other words. if this were the
practical application of his discovery to
human wounds that would heal normally
in forty days they would heal in one day.
Experiments with various other extracts
of tissues showed healing powers ranging
from three to forty times greater than
normal plasma.
Applied to bones he found that pulp
made of thyroid glands produced Il pro-
