For great many years | have be-
iieved that the weakness of old men
depended on tao eaases-a natural
series of organic changes AMI the
gradually diminishing action OF the
supernatie glands. In 1870. in a
course OF lectures at the Paris Faen,ty
of Medicine, discussing the influence
possessed by several glands upon the
nervous centres, put forward the
idea that If II were possible without
danger To inject semen into the blood
of OLD men. we should probably obtain
manifestations of increased activity a.
regards the menfaI and th- various
ply powers. Led By this view, I
made various experiments on animals

periments. made on a dozen male

The success obtained in the excep-
tionai case served To give nae great
hopes that by less difficult process
should some day reach my aim. This
| have now done. At the end of last
year | made on two old male rabbits
experiments which were repe4fed
since on several others, with results
leaving no doubt as regards both the
innocuity of the process used and the
good effects produced on all those ami
mails. tthis innocuity WAS also
proved on a very old dog by twenty
simultaneous injections of fluid sim

myself. No apparent harm resulted
from these trials, which were made by
any assistant, DIR. D'Arsonyal This
having been ascertained. ! resolved To
make experiments on myself. which
thought would be far more decisive on
man than on animals. The event has
proved the correctness OF that idea
