Grafting and Budding 



Shortcuts to Quick Tests 



NOWADAYS we hear of some remarkable 

 experiments in the grafting of animal 

 tissues, which strongly appeal to those 

 who have long experimented in the grafting of 

 vegetable tissues. 



Tl^e experiments made by Dr. Alexis Carrel, 

 of the Rockefeller Institute in New York, are of 

 particular interest. It appears that Dr. Carrel 

 has devised a new method of suturing arteries. 

 With such a process, the plant experimenter of 

 course has no concern, for the juices of plants 

 are not transmitted in any such definite channels 

 as the arteries and veins of animals. But in 

 dealing with animal life the arteries are all 

 essential, and the process devised by Dr. Carrel 

 enabled him to perform grafting experiments such 

 as no physiologist or surgeon had heretofore found 

 feasible.
