It must have functioned muscularly, for when I left Tobias gave me a
knuckle-crushing grip which made it necessary to write this story with
my left hand.

These newspaper articles are printed here without change, in spite of
evident repetitions, because of their evidential value. It is an old
trick of the public press in the United States, and probably in Europe
also, to start a sensation with a blazing front page story, and in the
course of a few weeks follow it with a complete and sarcastic expose of
the whole matter as a baseless fabrication, piling facts on facts to
show that the first story was an ingenious piece of deception got up by
the subject with the purpose of making capital out of the credulity of
the public. There are no better detectives in the world than newspaper
men. They work for the love of it. An expose is dearer to the
detective-instinct in them than a laudatory article, and they leave no
stone unturned to get at the facts. When, therefore, after the lapse of
months, the newspapers of the United States repeat and confirm their
first stories about Dr. Brinkley's work it means something to one who
knows their methods of working. Money cannot buy this sort of publicity.
There must be facts, and facts of value, and facts verified again and

organs of publicity in all the big cities of the United States. How far
they carry, and how wide-reaching is the interest, will be understood by
the statement that the announcement of Dr. Brinkley's work, printed
first in American newspapers, and copied in the English papers, has
brought him urgent requests to visit South Africa, Australia, Sweden,
Scotland, and many other countries. From England in particular come
requests from women that he do not fail to make a journey to some part
of Europe in the summer of 1921, in order that they may take the
operation with a view to bearing children. This he has arranged to do
about June of this year, expecting to find in England a climate during
the months of June, July and August, which will not be too hot to
prevent him from transplanting the goat-glands. He does not operate at
his hospital in Kansas during June, July and August, on account of the
heat, having found that when the outdoor temperature is high the glands
will certainly slough. The high temperatu
