The Ignorance of the Scientific 



categorical fashion: u lt is a future when 

 those who suffer from disease of any part of 

 the body will have the part replaced by a 

 corresponding part taken from someone who 

 has died accidentally ; when the wounded 

 General can be made whole again on the 

 battlefield by the grafting of the leg of some 

 dead soldier," etc., etc. 



But why wait for a wounded General? 

 And why was Dr Voronoff not in Flanders 

 during the war with his iron nerves, carry- 

 ing the legs of dead men round, u knife in 

 hand," and grafting them on the trunks of 

 live but wounded soldiers ? 



Apparently there need have been no 

 undue hurry in the matter. " Death," we 

 were told, u does not mean the immediate 

 disintegration of our internal organs ; if 

 they be taken away within six hours and 

 grafted anew, they can be grafted success- 

 fully," and if organs, a fortiori, legs.
