"INFALLIBLE."
MONKEY GLAND YOUTH. DR. VORONOFF'S CLAIM. (ST CABLX—P&S S3 ASSOCIATION COPYBIOHT.) (Storey "Sun" Seance.) LONDON, May 12. • The "Weekly Dispatch" states: — Dr. Voronoff, inetrviewed, said that he was convinced, after 70 experiments, that the monkey gland operation was an infallible method of rejuvenation, resulting in a quick return of energy and vitality to both .the body and mind. One of his patients, a poet, was unable, owing to his failing health, to put pen to paper, but six months after the operation he wrote a brilliant play, which made him a fortune. His mind had been almost a blank, but he regained his intellectual energy almost instantaneously. Dr. Voronoff said he had operated on 16 paupers over the age of 65, and in a few weeks they had left the almshouse, and were now earning salaries and doing the work of strong men tf 35.
A schoolmaster, aged 09, who was unable to complete the year necessary to qualify for a pension, underwent the operation. He not only finished the term, but two years later was successfully practising as a lawyer. Dr. Voronoff points out that the only failure was in the case of a patient suffering from an incurable' disease.
