MYSTERY OF LIFE

Immortality As Goal Of U.S. Scientists

to

Hollywood, Sept. 5. Blood of Jelial, a tuberculosis ridden monkey "frozen death" and brought to life by A young research chemist, has offered one of the most amaz- ing possibilities in madorn medicine.

Jekal'a blood, tested for tuber- culosis three days after he had emerged from his brief "death": showed no trace of the disense.

Dr. Ralph S. Willard, former Columbia University chemist who has experimented for five years in reviving animals after. they had been scientifically "frozen to death,” said he would not regard the result of his tests as final until they had been re peated two or three times. ' -

"I used the 'complement fixation test' to measure the presence of tubercle baccili," he said. "The result was negative, but it is pon- sible the froczing ́ might have changed blood conditions slightly.”

Intriguing Possibilities Meanwhile Dr. Willard W08 offering intriguing possibilities of his new feezing-and-reviving pro- cess, which he expects to be "suf- ficiently perfected to work with human beings in two years,”

These Include:

The "immortality” idea was suggested by Dr. Robert Cornish, a Berkely, California, scientist who claims a method of restoring life in animals actually killed, through injec- tion of Herparin, a liver sub- stance.

_No_Timo_Limit.

"If my operation is perfected— and I belleve within two years, with co-operation of some electri- cal manufacturing house, it will be ready for treatment of humans -there will be no limit to the time a person may remain 'dead' ", Dr. Willard said.

"My immediate objective is to use the method to cure diseases. but there is no reason, of course, why it could not be used for other purpoaca-to store away prisoners, or even prevent suicide.

"If a person got sick of this life, all he would have to do is take the treatment, get him- self packed in an ice-box and stay there until some future time when he might expect to find life more agreeable."
