authentic information. Is the
operation painful?"

"No," Dr. Brinkley replied. "It is a simple incision with very little
actual pain. In practically all cases a local anesthetic is used.
A general anesthetic is used only in exceptional cases."

"How long does the operation take?"

"Fifteen to twenty minutes. It is as simple as grafting new shoots on a
fruit tree. No part of the human gland is removed. The goat-gland is
simply planted to take the place of the old gland."

"And the hospital confinement?"

"One week, to rest the patient and allow the gland to begin functioning
without undue exertion."

"Any danger?"

"None whatever. It's like grafting on a piece of skin. There is
absolutely no danger."

+Eliminates Disorders.+ Lost youth is regained, according to Dr.
Brinkley, as a result of the revivifying fluid secreted by the
transplanted gland, leading to the elimination of organic disorders that
are hastening old age.

Dr. Brinkley explained in detail:

"I began my experiments nine years ago, and began using goat-glands
three years ago in the interstitial gland operation because the
goat-glands resemble to a large degree the human glands in their
histological make-up. The interstitial glands and the blood, of a goat,
are a very close approach in their constituents to those of a human
being.

"Old people are simply broken down. The goat-gland secretes the fluid
that builds up the brokendown parts of the human body. Eyesight improves
50 per cent. If a man is underweight he will gain to normal, and if he
is overweight he will reduce to normal, showing that the goat glands
actually function."

+Chronic Diseases Cured.+ "Chronic skin diseases are cleared up. Stomach
trouble disappears under the new gland's guardianship of the body.
I have the laboratory data, the scientific records, and the actual
revivified patients to prove it. The only unsuccessful cases are certain
people whose blood lacks necessary essentials, and they are few."

Dr. Brinkley gives Dr. G. Frank Lydston of Chicago credit for performing
the first gland transplanting operations.

+Lydston Is Pioneer.+ "Dr. Lydston is the pioneer," Dr. Brinkley said.
"He was the first man to transplant glands from a human to a human.
I have never transplanted anthropoid ape glands, as Dr. Voronoff of
Paris, and only in three cases human glands, as Dr. Lydston, and I was
not pleased with the results in those three cases. I was the first to
transplant go
