. Tobias was given an anesthetic. Dr.
Brinkley leaned over the operating table, made a quick, accurate
incision, planted the goat gland, and fifteen minutes later the
operation was over.
+Eyesight Improves.+ "Four days after the operation," the Chancellor
continued, "the headaches had disappeared, and my eyesight was greatly
improved. And seven days afterwards, I left the hospital a new man."
One month after the operation Chancellor Tobias wrote to Dr. Brinkley:
"I really feel twenty years younger. My health has improved wonderfully.
I have regained my lost vigor and vitality. I'm a recreated youth."
And today even Chancellor Tobias' fellow faculty members, many of them
nationally famous attorneys, admit that Dr. Tobias has improved 100 per

+"Almost Unbelievable."+ "I hesitate to speak of this," Chancellor
Tobias said. "It is so wonderful it is almost unbelievable. The public

over the news of the gland operations, but it should be treated with the
greatest respect and admiration. The operation has been a success on me
so I am in a position to speak authoritatively. It is one of the
greatest things of the century."

typical Chicago cases omitting names:
Policeman ----, aged 60, suffering from chronic diabetes and a general
breakdown, which was about to compel his retirement from the force.
Operated on August 9. Left the hospital yesterday feeling like "a new
man."
Alderman ----, aged 55, chronic asthma sufferer. Operated on April 26.
Asthma had disappeared by the time he left the hospital. Declared he

Mr. G----, newspaperman, aged 39. Suffered from complete nervous
breakdown from overwork. Operated on April 25. Resumed work almost

Judge ----, aged 58. Premature old age from hardening of the arteries.
Operated on April 28. Because of his wonderful improvement in health has
changed his mind about retiring from the bench.
+Operation Painless.+ "Ignorance about the gland transplanting is almost
universal," I told Dr. Brinkley. "I know nothing of it. Tell me how it
is done, why you use goat-glands, all the whys and wherefores, so the
readers of +The American+ will have some
