so that my experiments could be carried on without the public or
profession knowing anything about them. If good results were obtained I
could announce to the world; if none were obtained the matter could be
dropped. After four male children had been born, due directly to gland
transplantation, the news leaked out, and has swept the world like
wildfire. While I was transplanting glands for sterility, other
beneficial effects were noted by me as well as my patients. Now, since I
have transplanted glands into more than 600 men and women it is an easy
matter to give some comprehensive statistics. A complete record is kept
of each case and follow-up letters are used so that we are in a pretty
fair way to estimate just what we are doing. Five cases of insanity have
been cured to date. The great difficulty in obtaining insane people for
operation is, they are confined in a state institution, and the
authorities will not permit their removal, especially when their loved
ones tell the "higher ups" they wish Dr. Brinkley, "the gland man," to
transplant goat glands. "Oh, no, it's all rot and will never do!"
However, we have operated upon five cases and have cured five cases.
After awhile we will break down this great wall of prejudice, and insane
people will be ordered out for this operation. At present when habeas
corpus proceedings are all that will obtain the release, and gland
transplantation is the object, not much of a chance exists. I am going
to mention one of our very interesting cases, as the man lives only
about 15 or 20 miles from me in Dickinson County, Kansas. His name is
Lon Jones, and his case is known far and wide within the state of
Kansas. My writing about Mr. Jones will not be the betrayal of a
professional secret. He is anxious for the world to know about it. Some
six weeks or two months before I was called to see him he was stricken
suddenly, insane. He had mounted his horse and was driving his cattle
home for the night when it was noticed by others that he acted "queer."
He began to whip and fight his steed as well as the cattle unmercifully.
He dismounted or fell off his horse and at first was thought
unconscious. A physician was called, another, and another, and his case
was diagnosed as Dementia Praecox. Violent in character. He wanted to
kill his doctor, or commit some rash act. One of the first acts was to
try and give away all of his land and stock as well as corn and feed.

It was unsafe for his wif
