The new extracts, both plastics...
...dark brown substance, almost as hard as a rib, which slowly softens when planted in the body. Uses have not yet been found for it, but Dr. Cohn is convinced that everything in human blood is useful...

Experiments with this now weapon against measles have been carried on in many places where epidemics of the disease have arisen...
