-Proba bility that cure for paralysis

ing session of the convention of the
Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology
DIR. Gerard explained how cords
severed in operations on embryo rats
in CESSATION had mended. the rats
born normal ana We're healthy
through long lives.
Incurable paralysis invaria bly, de-
velops in humans after the spinal
cord has severed DR.. Gerald said.
He has hopes that 4 human spinal
cord may be mended, possibly by
patches from the spinal cord of
another organism. His theory is
speculative, however, he declared. as
his researches are not near the final
stage.
Success in keeping alive longer
than ever before animals from which
adrenalin glands have been removed
reported by DrS. q. \. Stewart and
]. II. Rogoff. Western Reserve Uni
versity. led to the belief that cure
for Addison's disease may be discov-

of these glands.
