What the Monkey Gland Operation Is
By r. J. and 4. ". BOOMER

Transplanting glands Of monkeys or
other animals into people to restore fail
ing mental or physical powers is al
ready more prartced than is generally
realized The average patient shrinks
from having his need Of such an opera
mails and from different parts Of the
body are used, depending entirely upon
which faculty needs restoration. In
some cases monkey glands are used in
others sheep glands or glands from other
animals. The gland used and its source
depend entirely upon the result to be
accomplished.
One would think that the gland would
be inserted in the human patient at
the corresponding point of its removal
in other words, that a gland from the
neck Of the monkey would be planted In
! the neck of the human patient, but this
| is not the cnse. The gland is sewn into
| the muscular tissues in the side Of the
! patient, and not as whole, bur il gen =
orally cut into slices and the parts at =
! tachcd to the tissues at the point of
incision
Before removing the gland thorough
laboratory tests of the animals con
dition are made to determine the blood
condition, etc. Similar tests are made
Of the patient to determine his fitness.
The monkey is then put under ether,
the gland removed and quickly placed
in n solution of blood salts. The pa
tient meanwhile is put under ether. the
incision made, tine gland sliced and the
pieces sewn into the muscular TISSUES.
The results Of the operation are sue
ccssful for the object desired. Numer-
Gus cases are known where fading men :
tality, loss of vitality, loss of memory
ETC., have been restored. The restora
tion isnot permanent, however--the re-
suits lasting at most for year or two.
