MONKEY GLANDS
DR VORONOFF’S TREATMENT. . (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, May 25. Dr Voronoff states: Simple monkeygland operations are at. present being carried out- by other surgeons who have learned my’methods. I fear that English surgeons will be handicapped owing to the anti-vivisection laws. Monkeys are not allowed to be operated upon without a license, although the monkey still continues his normal length of life. The only gland operation permissible in England is for one to be taken from a person who died suddenly, and it must be used within six hours. Dr Voronoff points out that it is impossible for a person to develop any instincts, physical or mental, from the animal from which the gland is taken. The ideal age, he. says, for gland insertion is between ten and twelve years. Then the children show greater force, energy, and intelligence when they reach an adult age. Unless a man is treated within four or five years of his decline, he does not fully renew his vitality.
