els as if she had indeed
regained the buoyancy of her youth.

Dr. Brinkley by no means asserts that the woman whose ovaries have been
removed by surgical operation will grow two new ovaries after the
transplantation has been made, but he cites the case of a woman whose
ovaries had been removed by surgical operation some years previous, the
uterus remaining intact, in whom he implanted two goat-ovaries, and
whose periods shortly afterwards returned on a four-day basis, with
twenty-eight-day interval. He does not say that the goat-ovaries
transplanted into the woman have grown new ovaries, but there remains
the phenomenon of the renewed menstruation, and this is very difficult
to account for. In barren women, from twenty-eight to thirty-five years
of age, in whom he has found not a diseased, but an atrophied, condition
of the ovaries, the transplantation has invariably been attended with
success to the removal of the barrenness, the new glands evidently
bringing about the development of ova. Nor does Dr. Brinkley say that in
the case of a man who has had both glands removed by surgical operation,
the transplantation will produce new glands for the man, and yet he has
had two successes to offset several failures in this very result,
without any clue to why the success followed in the one case and not in
the other. The work is yet in its infancy stage, and Dr. Brinkley is the
first to admit that there is far more about it to be known than he has
yet succeeded in knowing. He is averse to experimenting upon women
patients at this stage of his knowledge, and has many times refused to
transplant the glands for women who have requested him to perform the
operation for them. One such case was at the hospital during the
writer's visit there in April. She was a paralysis case, quite fat,
unable to walk except by putting forward one foot at a time, supported
by the arm of someone on each side of her. She was driven to the
hospital in an automobile, accompanied by her husband and daughter, from
the farm--two hundred miles away! Dr. Brinkley strongly urged her not to
have the gland operation performed at all, but she insisted upon giving
it a trial. It is too soon yet to speak of results in this case, but in
Dr. Brinkley's view it is asking too much of the glands to expect them
to produce favorable results in a case of this severity. Yet, at this
time, there was in the hospital a young woman suffering from Dementia
Praecox, whose moth
