ng
individual so that they will continue to live and perform their function
in the new environment, is a revolutionary and a seemingly incredible
performance. Yet Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute, New
York, has accomplished this wonderful task. The smallest imagination can
picture the possibilities of this kind of surgery, but, inasmuch as the
discovery is so recent and the opportunities for testing it upon human
beings are so relatively few, that time alone can tell how far it may be
possible to go.

Anti-Meningitis Serum.--Another important discovery that has emanated
from the Rockefeller Institute is the Anti-Meningitis serum. The death
rate from spinal meningitis, before the introduction of the serum, was
70 per cent., the use of the serum has reduced this percentage to 30. We
owe this important contribution to Dr. Simon Flexner.

A Serum for Malaria Now Possible.--Dr. C. C. Bass, of Tulane
University, has succeeded in extracting malaria-producing parasites from
human blood and keeping them alive in test tubes. This feat had been
long attempted but never before with success. The significance of this
achievement is that it is the first step toward preparing a serum that
will give immunity to malaria.
