is nothing to it; it's all bunk!"
My cases have ranged in age from 18 to 75 years. My patients that are
from 60 to 75 years of age write me they feel as they did when they were
boys 18 years of age. I have transplanted glands for almost every
conceivable disease and have received splendid results in almost every
case. All cannot be cured, but all of them can be greatly benefited. At
this writing I have with me as a patient a noted United States Senator
from Washington, D.C. He has been treated by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the
president's personal physician, as well as taking 3 years of treatment
at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is depressed and discouraged. He speaks of
suicide. He has been operated on only two days and I venture to say that
before his week is passed he will be a different man.
My greatest number of men come for impotency, next for prostatitis, and
many for a general improvement in health. Many come with but one
purpose--to prolong their lives. I believe that those who receive gland
transplantation will live much longer than without it. Possibly as much
as from 10 to 25 years can be added. Then successive transplants can be
made, and we have no idea how long they will live. Their skin takes on
the appearance of youth. I know that after the ovaries have been
transplanted into women who have none their menses return on a 4-day
period regularly. Women who had passed the menopause have a return flow.
Hardening of the arteries as well as high blood pressure are returned to
normal in 100 per cent of the cases. Eyesight is improved from 50 to 100
per cent. A well-known judge was operated upon by me a short time ago,
and his eyesight was so much improved that he could no longer wear
glasses of any kind. Men who had not heard for 16 years write me that
since gland transplantation they can hear the tick of a watch. In women
a development of the bust is noted and the wrinkles disappear from their
cheeks. Chronic constipation is cured as well as old chronic skin
diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, etc.
With the best will in the world I am unable to describe on paper just
how my fellow practitioners should perform this operation, because I
never meet with precisely similar conditions in any two cases. I can say
positively that I do not know just what I shall do until the case itself
is under my hands in the operating room. The operation is simple in
itself, but in my early days of operating I made a number of mi
