now redlscovering what was already
| know to ancient civilization Until
recent years little had been unuder'
stood OF the functions and relative
Importance Of the various glands hid
den IN different portions of every
animals body.
1t is now fact. accepted by scient-
lists, that these glands secret fluids
of various kinds which supply the vi
tai organs with that particular sort
OF energy required by each for the ex'
ercise OF its proper functions.
Take. for instance. the thyroid
gland Through some mysterious pro-
cess this gland draws from the body
and stores up liquid matter which II
dispatches to the brain as required
Without this gland the brain sinks
into atrophy and becomes a blank
Were | to remove a mans thyroid
gland he would be a total idiot in

In the same manner. the intestinal
glands appear to supply every organ
of the body with a fund Of energy
This | have proved by means of CON
.tinued experiments beyond the fur
Their possibility of doubt Nothing
is more certain. II suffices 10 take
glands from the body of a young Wig
orous healthy animal and graft them
into the flesh OF some decrcpit ami
NAL in order to restore the latter 9
vigor and youth.
These young glands, nourished hv
blood, rapidly become an integral
part Of the portion OF the foreign
body to which they have been grated
and they soon begin manufacturing
copious quantities of vitafizing fluid
which goes out through the arteries
and restores to health and freash &C
