NO NEED TO 1 GROW OLD
igaiied press association —by klectkk TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) (.AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, May 24. Voronoff, who is paying a flying visit to England, had a boisterous welcome from 509 medical students at the Cambridge Medical Society. He gave a. lecture on the miracles ol the monkey gland, and explained the early experiments by screened pictures, showing the results of gland operations. He declared that- women need never grow old, and that women who want to hunt ami play games again with all the ardour and ability of youth may do so. “1 am convinced 1 am able to make people live to 140 or perhaps 150 years, because of my experiments on animals,” he said. “There are sheep on my farm which reached the age of 20 years. This is equivalent to 148 years in human beings. I can do likewise with men and women.”
He described the remarkable effects he .had' bad in several cases, and instanced the case of a man in a mental: home whose mind was a blank, but within six months he resumed his work as a pharmacist. A newspaper man, whose mind failed, reported that he felt as he did 20 years before. Grafts did not give such marked results in women as in men, he stated, but subsequent experiments overcame that difficulty, and he was now ready to declare the operations an unqualified success.
