GLAND OLD AGE!
HOW VORONOFF HOPES TO REACH IT.
KEEP? PET APE FOR HIMSELF
Doctor Serge Yoronoff. the monk-ey-gland expert, intends to he rejuvenated himself—one dav.
“See.” he said, pointing to a huge chimpanzee in one of the cages or> his monkey farm at Grimaldi, “tljat is Theodore, he is being kept- for mo. . . .when I feel I need him.” Discussing the results of his treatment, the famous surgeon declared that- seven years ago he grafted, aman of 62 with monkey glands. Today lie lias two little crirls. who, according to Yoronoff. “are absolutely normal in overv way."
“There are quite a number of people,” said Yoronoff, “v-. ho insist- that the children of people grafted with monkey glands will think and act like monkeys. T have always said that tin’s is a fallacy, hut the assertion was difficult- to nrove. because enough time had not elapsed for children to he horn to some of my patients. Such is no longer the case.
“I personally know of three such children, and I am sure there are others.”
