...incidentally as an advertisement for his bandages, Mr. Camp, after being quoted a price reputed to be $20.000, told the Dresden artisans to go ahead. First, the skeleton of a young Dresden woman, killed in an accident, was treated with preservative, covered with paraffin. Brain, heart, stomach, lungs, thyroid, liver, spleen, pancreas, bladder and other organs were taken from corpses, made transparent by a secret process, dyed, photographed in color, enlarged, projected on a screen in three dimensions. From these projections artists made tracings which were used by sculptors to model the organs which actually went into the figure...

By doing that Dr. Stone followed fundamental procedures developed by Dr. Carrel at the Rockefeller Institute...
Wetting the bed after he is three years old is a habit no child should have.** Yet a tremendous number of children suffer from enuresis. Adenoids, flat feet, thyroid deficiencies and a score more reasons have been presented to explain bedwetting. Dr. Kanner says it is almost always due simply to lack of adequate training, general carelessness concerning the regularity of the child's habits. To cure a child of wetting the bed Dr. Kanner simply tells him that he can be cured, that he should not be ashamed, that he should help with all his might. Almost invariably children...
