! DR.. Carrell conducted many expert

prove the possibility of the cell union
in different organisms. The heads and
tails of two frogs were cut Off and the
| head of one grown upon the place of
| the tail of the other, and vice versa.

| bits of tissue were cut from young
| chicks, dogs and cats and put into
| ''plasmatic medium in sealed jars and

| animal from which they were taken.
\ Instead of dying these tissues kept on
growing The 'plasmatic medium" is
