MONKEY GLAND FAMINE
CANDIDATES FOR REJUVENATION MUST PROVIDE OWN “ZOO.” PARIS, May 30. There Is a revolution in the world of gland specialists and others interested in making the old young, on account of the prohibitive price of monkeys. Those which quite recently cost about £2 suddenly rose to £8 and £lO, and now it is difficult to get one for less than £80! Dr. Voronoff, who used to have his spacious grounds surrounded by ■wire netting, constituting an immense cage for the large number of monkeys he had, has, now not one. Whenever a patient goes to him Dr. Voronoff replies: "If you come and see me with a monkey—any kind ■will do—l shall operate on you. Without the monkey I cannot do anything for I have no means of getting one.”
