Paris Doctor Says Grating OF
Tissues Brings Back
Youth.
EXPERIMENTS ARE SUCCESS
InterstitiaI Glands Are Taken From
Apes for Use in Treating Human
Beings-Operation Is Quite
Simple.

Paris.-Restoration of youth is no
longer an uncertainty, but by grating
of new interstitial glands is as sure
as the rules of chemistry, DR.. L. ii.
VoronOff declared.
DIR. Voronoff, director of the physiO-
logical laboratory of the College OF
France, says the operations are simple.
The interstitial glands are taken
from apes for use in treating human
beings.
"a local a%nesthetic Is all that is
necessary" DR.. Voronoff said. 1T is
merely a task of opening the skin, in
serting the new tissue, sewing up the
slight wound, and nature does the
rest"
"Seven months ago." continued DR..
Voronoff, II operated on a well known
Partisan mar of affairs, who at the
age of &C was in a decrepit state. The
experiment was a complete success.
Though his hair remains white and
his face is wrinkled, he walks erect,
his mind is as active and his appetite
Is as good as that of a young nan
Oe1feS age WIKI AnCtnCT.
'Three months ago 1 performed a
similar grating operation OF another
aged man. Everything in his case in
dicates the result will be the same, but
it is too early as yet to give a state
ment as to his renewed vitality.
'The secret, of my method is based
Oh the following general knowledge:
In various parts of the body, nature
has provided glands which secrete
fluids having vital functions in human
organism. For instance, if I remove
the thyroid gland from a mans neck,
he will become an idiot within six
months. Also when the interstitial
glands, which manufacture fluid which
is absorbed by the blood, and thus
gives to the whole body its vitality, be-
come worn out or are removed, the
whole body falls into decay.
Foreign tissues, which have thus
been introduced into a worn-out sys-
tenn are nourished by the blood circu-
lation of the body which is the new
home for the tissues. In turn the It's
sues manufacture a vital fluid, which
circulating through the body, restores
its youthful vigor.
"Some of my most productive exper-
lments were carried out or an aged
ram. The ram at IA correspondent IN
age to a man at 70, in so far as the
exhaustion Of organisms is concerned.
Taking the aged, decrepit ram in
May, 1918, l put into his body inter-
stitial glands taken from a young ram
Within two months he had regained
his youthful vigor and activities.
'Then, in order to prove it was not
merely a matter of good care that had
caused the change, | removed the
grated glands. l found them in per-
feet state, as they had not been COM
pletely assimilated by the renewed or
ganism.
Age RecIaims Victim.
"The ram Immediately aged and be-
came even more decrepit than before.
[ once more introduced the glands
from a young goat, which again pro-
1uced youth and vigor.
sThere will not be the slightest dan
ger to human beings because of the
monkey tissues which l use in treat
ing them. A monkeys blood very
closely resembles that Of a Hence
the tissues of the ape are perfectly
adapted for grating on human beings.
"There is no danger of thereby bru-
.alizing human beings. So far, my ex-
oeriments in this direction are con-
ined largely to rejuvenating wornout
organisms. / am convinced the idea is
practicable. 1 do not guarantee I have
found the solution for senile decay. My
works are of an experimental nature,
and I am continuing my investiga-
