"
He paused. Then he shot out in quick staccato, "Did you ever hear
of Dr. Carrel's most recent discovery of accelerating the healing
of wounds so that those which under ordinary circumstances might
take ten days to heal might be healed in twenty-four hours?"
Rapidly, now, he sketched the theory. "If the factors that bring
about the multiplication of cells and the growth of tissues were
discovered, Dr. Carrel said to himself, it would perhaps become
possible to hasten artificially the process of repair of the body.
Aseptic wounds could probably be made to cicatrise more rapidly.
If the rate of reparation of tissue were hastened only ten times,
a skin wound would heal in less than twenty-four hours and a
fracture of the leg in four or five days.
"For five years Dr. Carrel has been studying the subject, applying
various extracts to wounded tissues. All of them increased the
growth of connective tissue, but the degree of acceleration varied
greatly. In some cases it was as high, as forty times the normal.
