This statement is false, but I can't prove it yet. My guess is that only monsters that  confer acid resistance (MR_ACID) will undo the stoning process but I haven't convinced myself of that yet with source code. - Addps4cat

I was a jabberwocky, and was attacked by a cockatrice. I started slowing down. I had no lizard corpses or any other remedies.

It turned me in to a "new woman", and lo, un-stoned. Bug? -dpk
