NEW GLANDS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The
storm of controversy aroused by the
reiuyenation, theories of DR.. Serg
voronoff, of Paris, will not down.
DR.. Victor G. Vecki, Mount Zion
Hospital consulting surgeon, who is
San Francisco's chief champion Of
the giandular transportation theory,
sees in it panacea for some of ife's
greatest annoyances. DR.. Vecki
says:
Gloomy View of Life.
There is a class of people in the
community life of America whom we
might call the .saddists.' Their view
point 10 extremely gloomy. They are
taking all of the JOY out OF life for
the rest Of U.s. They get sensation
OF delight. out of destroying the hap
piness of others. What they cannot
enjoy themselves. they do not wish
TO see others enjoy.
II will not say that a surgical OBJ
Grafton will alter the mental attitude
Of all of these people. But certainly
a very large number of them are
moody and pessimistic because of dis
positions that have been soured By
zfandular weaknesses.
Weakness In one set OF glands In
fuences sympathetically all of the

has demonstrated that the general
health is improved thereby and the

cases which are of record

To DR.. Lydston belongs all Of the

mcnts:
What at .first seemed a bold and
adventurous undertaking Is rapidly
developing into a field of immense
possibilities. When Lydston came
first with his experiments on the i'm
plantation Of the glands taken from
dead human bodies and experiments
with emuIsions of organs taken from
the dead human body, there was
plenty of admiration, some hope but
little. inclination to follow his lead.

However, they are coming; true,
