Paris Doctor Says Grating Of
Tissues Brings Back
Youth.
EXPERIMENTS ARE SUCCESS

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.. ID.
Voronoff declared.
DIR. yoronoff, director of the physio-
logical laboratory of the College Oh
France, says the operations are simple.
The interstitial glands are taken
from apes for use in treating human
beings.
"a local anesthetic is all that is
necessary" DR.. Voronoff said. ut Is
merely a task of opening the skin, in
sorting the new tissue, sewing up the
slight wound, and nature does the
rest"
"Seven months ago." continued DR..
Voronoff, 81 operated on a well known
Partisan man of affairs, who at the
age of &C was in a decrepit state. Inc
experiment was complete success.
Though his hair remains white ana
his face is wrinkled, he walks erect,
his mind is as active and his appetite
is as good as that of young man.
Defes Age With Another.
"Three months ago l performed o
similar grating operation on announcer
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.
1.-THE secret of my method is basec
on the following general knowledge
} In various parts of the body, nature
has provided glands which secrea
, fluids having vital functions in humai
organism. For instance, if l remove
the thyroid gland from mans neck
he will become an idiot WITHIN slS
2 months. Also when the interstitia
glands, which manufacture fluid which
is absorbed by the blood, and thus
gives to the whole body its vitality, pc
come worn out or are removed, the
whole body falls into decay.
"Foreign tissues, which have thus
3 been introduced into a worn-out sys
= tenn are nourished by the blood clrcu
n lation of the body which is the new
| home for the tissues. In turn the us
. sues manufacture a vital fluid, Whlci
u circulating through the body, restore!
5 its youthful vigor.
