...diseased liver poses some of medicine's toughest problems. Surgeons have tried transplantation, but the process is incredibly difficult, and the survival record so far is only 13 months (TIME, Sept. 6). With varying degrees of success, doctors have 1) used massive blood transfusions, 2) passed the patient's blood through an excised but still functioning pig's liver, and 3) even connected a patient's bloodstream with another human's, thus letting the volunteer's liver function for both bodies.

...Force man's liver trouble persisted for five months, his wife's for six weeks. The children were not so severely ill, and the six younger got off lighter than the two elder-a paradox of hepatitis that doctors cannot explain...
