...Stone's work endures because he acclimatizes tissues before he fixes them in their new home.

...Since the nerve cells controlling muscles are destroyed by this affliction, it cannot be hoped that a cure will be found after those cells have become seriously infected. Instead, some way must be found by which the occasional susceptible person can be made to resist the virus. Immune serum has already been used for early treatment; but the difficulty of experimenting on children, and of finding comparable untreated cases, has been a serious drawback in this investigation.
