...tissue cells, generally fibroblasts. Simultaneously he cultures the same sort of tissue in a saline solution. The older a person is (physically) the slower will his tissues grow in his serum. The ratio of tissue growth in serum to tissue growth in salt solution is Dr. Carrel's "growth index...
Rejuvenation. A specific use for Dr. Carrel's growth index is to measure the effect (if any) of artificial rejuvenation. Said he: "We should admit that no great imagination has been used so far in the development of those [rejuvenation] treatments. t is assumed that by grafting glands rejuvenation can take place.

Moreover, Dry Democrat Locher's victory over Wet Democrat Graham P. Hunt of Cincinnati seemed reversed when errors were discovered in the vote-counting...
