stant ringing in my ears. Dizziness

er | left the hospital feeling twenty
five years younger. And I seem to
grow still younger every day"
In operating upon Mr.. Tobias, the
surgeon selected two months old
goat. He removed the interstitial
glands and, placing them in a solu-
ton Of body heat, conveyed them
into the operating room. A quick,
accurate incision was made and the
glands planted. The job was finished
in fifteen minutes.
Mr. Tobias said that while he was
in the hospital, DR.. C. E. Carleton.
prominent physician of San Fran
cisco, was there also undergoing the
operation. And DIS he left, he said.

In all the cases handled by DR..
Br.nkley, the patients were victims
of illness. Mr.. Brenner is said to
have been suffering from chronic
asthma. He was operated on April
26 and by the time he left the hos
pital the disease had left him.
Mr.. C., the newspaper man,
aged 80, suffered from a complete
nervous breakdown. He was op-
Grated on April 25 and has since re-

was Mrs. B, aged 80.
The operation is simple, according
to DR.. Brinkley, who is now in Chi
cago.
There is very little actual pain
he said. TN practically all cases, a
local anaesthetic is used. The opera
tion requires not more than twenty
minutes, and the patient is able to
quit the hospital after a week. There
is absolutely no danger.
] began my experiments about
nine years ago, and first used the
goat glands three years ago because
they resemble to q large degree the
human glands in their histological
makeup. The goat is the healthiest
animal Of ALL and It's milk contains
all the vitamines necessary to human
growth and development.
