operation was upon a husband in a childless family, forty-six
years old, and married for sixteen years. His wife was forty-two years
old. I transplanted in him the interstitial gland of a male goat. His
health improved almost at once, and he thereafter looked and acted like
a man many years younger. Within a year he was the father of a fine baby
boy. The father continues to retain his improved vitality. The boy was
named "Billy" in honor of the goat.
Next a young woman came to me for the operation. I found her glands
diseased, removed them, and replaced them with the interstitial glands
of a male goat. Her recovery was speedy. A year later she gave birth to
a strong boy baby, now four months old. These were but the beginnings.
Other women desired female offspring and have received the glands of the
female goat. There are now some twenty-five cases in the hospital at
Milford receiving goat-glands.

+Insanity Is Cured.+ In the hospital is a man who came from New York
City recently and received two male goat-glands upon his arrival. During
his past he had been in three New York Insane Asylums, and had gone to
the Mayo and other institutions. Nothing had been accomplished for his
case, and he had been told finally that he was incurable and must remain
a mental defective. He had decided to commit suicide if I failed to
remedy his condition. In thirty-six hours after the insertion of
goat-glands his temperature had risen to above 103 degrees, but became
normal twenty-four hours later, and has since remained so. His mind has
gradually cleared, he looks and feels younger, and is contemplating
marriage. The hideous dreams and nightmares which had destroyed his
sleep and rest for many past years have left him, and he now eats and
sleeps well. Apparently the cure is complete.
A case of Dementia Praecox, violent in character, was brought to me as a
result of the cure in the above case. Restraint was necessary, even to
the strapping of his hands, feet and body to the bed. He was in all
respects a typical insane asylum case, destined to remain under
restraint. The second day after two male goat glands had been inserted
he spoke to me, saying, "Doctor, won't you please remove the straps so I
can rest comfortably? I am perfectly aware of everything now and feel as
if snatched from the grave." We removed his shackles and on the
following day he called for books t
